Yellow corniole "lenticolare" (H. 0.023 Br. 0.023 weight 5,4 gr.) probably from Aquileja. Formerly probably in Coll. Torrelazzi (1893), now Udine, Museum (Inv. No. 1138). I am greatly obliged to Prof. Dr. R. Pettazzoni who drew my attention to this object, nearly identical to the preceding No. He informs me that the piece has been studied by Miss A. M. Cotterli of the University at Padua but this study has not been published. See fig. 654.
