Fischer represents the largest as furnished with nine apertures, and two square, wellformed calkins. M.

M. Namur gives no drawings or descriptions of them, but merely states that they were of the ordinary form, and were found associated with Roman reliquæ of various kinds and dates.

It may be noted that these specimens of antique shoes bear much resemblance to shoes found in various parts of Würtemberg, which Grosz figures, and which will be alluded to presently. He thought they belonged to the middle ages.
It is also somewhat remarkable, that at Steinfurt, in
