Whilst on the subject of rings, it may be mentioned that in the Gentleman's Magazine, vol. lxii, p. 817, plate iii, fig. 4, there is a representation of a brass sealring, which was found near Swanton Morley in Norfolk. The device on the ring is the letter R, surmounted with a crown. This is a very similar device to that on the ring in the Powys-land Museum, presented by the Rev. H. J. Marshall, and found in the church-yard of Bettws; the latter has a device of the letter "R" crowned (see the illustration in the “Montgomeryshire Collections," vol. vi, p. 432). There has also been lately presented to the Powysland Museum, by Miss Mary Yearsley, a large thumb ring, of silver and twisted, and on the bezel are engraved the initials "I. B.," having belonged to John Briscoe, an ancestor of the donor. It is a fine massive ring. There are several finger rings in the "Mayence Collection," presented to the Powys-land Museum, which deserve attention-particularly one, of fine twisted gold wire, which was amongst the contents of a cinerary urn found in the neighbourhood of Mayence. It is something of the character of the gold ring figured in the Archeological Journal, vol. v, p. 155, which is described as "formed of wire twisted or platted." The latter was purchased at Bandon, by Mr. Zachariah Hawkes, and was then in his collection. This passing allusion to the above twisted gold wire ring is made with the view of drawing attention to it. M. C. J. LLANRHAIADR YN MOCHNANT: ITS PAROCHIAL HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES. BY THOMAS W.
