to 9 by 4 inches at the neck; very rudely hacked, the front deeply, the edge shallow cut. (B 2.)

The slab (g) is built in, high on the west end-too high to get measurements, and the figure is not to scale. It is cut in low relief, the disc deeply incised with a hole in the centre, as in Lastingham a, b, and other Anglian crosses. Prof. Baldwin Brown (The Arts in Early England, ii., p. 340) dates the west tower late pre-Norman; this slab is probably A 2.

NORTHALLERTON.-At the east end of the south transept are nine pre-Norman fragments.

The cross-head (a, b, c) has been a beautiful piece of work, of the Anglian type, with superimposed cross, whose arms end in bulbs (nearly, but not quite, what I call elsewhere the lorgnette pattern), and the open centre is filled with flat pellets and plaits very like the bottom of the Ormside Cup in York Museum. The zigzags of care seen again in fragments of a cross-arm at the Abbey, Carlisle. This head is of buff sandstone, neatly chiselled; radius 12 inches, thickness 5 inches. (A 1.)

The shaft-fragment (d, e, f) might be part of the same monument as a. It is of buff sandstone, neatly chiselled, but now in a very fragile condition, coming off in flakes when handled. It is 15 inches tall, 8 inches across the side e, the opposite side to which has been cut away, diminishing the breadth of d and f from its original 10 inches.

The fragment (g) is 11 inches broad, carved in deep relief in buff sandstone; apparently of the same period as the preceding. (A 1.) The wheel head (h, i) measures 14 inches diameter; roughly hacked; the other side and edge of similar pattern. (B 2.)

The wheel-head (j, k) is about 13 inches diameter; roughly hacked; the other side and edge similar. (B 2.)

The wheel-head (1) is about 14 inches diameter; roughly hacked; it has a four-strand plait (like k) on the edge. (B 2.)

The cross-arm (m), from a free-armed cross, is the same on the other side, with no pattern on the end of the arm. It measures 10 inches across the end of the arm; hacked or rudely chiselled. (A 3.) The shaft-fragment (n, o) has lost one edge and the back; it measures 9 inches broad as it stands. (B.)

The neck of a cross (p, q) is 10 inches long and 8 by 5 inches in section, buff sandstone, chiselled. The other side and edge are of the same design. Note the rings supposed to go through the arris, as in Brompton h, i, Kirklevington y, and Stanwick. (B.)
