Notes on the above.

          I have identified the Bark-decoration of the 

radial bar of the chariot wheel, and that of 

the walking-stick as Birch-bark; and that 

of the composite bows appears to be the same.

          The wood of one bow I have determined 

as Flowering Ash.

          The tanged^sic piles of the arrows appear are, 

with little doubt, the wood of a species closely 

related to the Almond.

          With regard to the Chariot-wheel, I have 

decided that the wood is not Celtis australis,

but Elm almost certainly. The other possibility 

was the wood of Zelkova (two species in question),
