I have already mentioned the counties of Scotland in which "elf-bolts" are most abundantly found. I may now enumerate a few of the spots, and the characters of the specimens of this form. One much like Fig. 327, but with the barbs more pointed, is figured by Wilson,^[1] as well as another^[2] like Fig. 305, found in a tumulus at Killearn, Stirlingshire. One from the Isle of Skye,^[3] like Fig. 316, and another from Shapinsay, Orkney,^[4] like Fig. 312, have been figured by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. Others, found with burnt bones in an urn deposited in a cairn in Banff, have been engraved by Pennant,^[5] and some from Lanarkshire are given in the Journal of the Archæological Association.^[6]

Stemmed and barbed arrow-heads are recorded to have been found in
