^{page 16 note *} A subsequent communication from Mr. Bicknell (see post, p. 43) showed conclusively that the figure here referred was an ox head, and that in a great many instances the operation of ploughing is represented. The inspection of further examples has also convinced Mr. Evans that this figure primarily represents an ox seen from above.

Mr. Edward Peacock In Proceedings, 2nd S. viii. 253–257, and in the Yorkshire Archæological Journal, ii. 248, has quoted a number of passages in which osmunds are mentioned, and given references to several sources as to the meaning of the word, but all these so far as I have been able to test them go back to Spelman and the statute just cited.

page 24 note † Metallurgy, Iron and Steel, by John Percy, M.D., F.R.S., pp. 320 et seq. I have to thank our Fellow, Mr. Gowland, for this useful reference. There is another osmund process which is not to be confounded with this. By it pig iron is reduced to malleable, but the bloom with which we are concerned was taken direct from the furnace to the anvil, and its metal was never run into pig iron.
