WILLIAM TITE, Esq. M.P. V.P. exhibited a Metal Stamp, recently bought at Hull, 29 inches long, 1 inch wide, bearing the following letters in relief:

This is one of the numerous bronze stamps of the Roman period which occur frequently in collections, and the exact use of which has not been hitherto explained. The letters are usually in relief, and some antiquaries have supposed that they were employed for marking bread. Dr. Simpson of Edinburgh has suggested that they were employed in stamping various packages, such as luggage, with the owner's name, which is generally in the genitive case. Two fragments of terra cotta vessels are preserved in the British Museum which have evidently been marked with stamps of this kind; one of them was brought by Mr. Newton from the Island of Rhodes. These, however, are such exceptional examples that it is scarcely probable that the large number of stamps of this kind known to exist could have been made for this purpose. Moreover the letters on stamps for pottery were generally sunk, so as to be in relief on the vase or tile.

Mr. Tite also exhibited a silver signet ring with the letter "I" engraved on it. On the rim is a small cross to show the position for sealing. It appeared to be of the fifteenth century.

MRS. ELIZABETH MAYLE exhibited a recent impression on wax of the seal of Beatrix de Torp, found at Wainfleet in Lincolnshire. It was pointed oval in form and 1 inch long. Device, a female figure standing on a bracket and holding in her left hand a hawk. She is habited in a long tunic girded, and a mantle; her right hand is on her breast supported by the cordon of the mantle; on her head is a flat-topped cap. Legend

W. L. LAWRENCE, Esq., F.S.A., exhibited a recent impression in wax of a scal of Gaufrid Povrelle. It was pointed oval, 24 inches long. Device, a figure of an abbot under a canopy
