Grateful acknowledgment must once again be made of the cooperation and kindness of the countless informants who not only supplied details of the circum- stances of discovery, but who also made it possible for me to examine and identify almost every one of the coins myself. The full records and descriptions of the coins are preserved in the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow. .
