guineas, 1677, with the large head ;
one guinea, 1694, with the
elephant and castle under the busts of William and Mary.
Canon Pownall exhibited a guinea dated 1692, also a specimen
of the new Mexican gold coinage, 1880.
Mr. B. V. Head read a paper " On the Constitution of the
Ephesian Mint before the time of the Empire," in the course of
which he stated that, through the kindness of M. Waddington,
who had communicated to him all the unpublished coins of
Ephesus in his rich collection, he was now .in a position to
make a very considerable addition to the long list of Ephesian
magistrates' names already compiled by him in his " History
of the Coinage of Ephesus." Mr. Head further expressed his
opinion that some of the conclusions which he had in that
work striven to establish could not, in the face of the evidence
now accessible, be accepted without modification. See "Numis-
matic Chronicle," 3rd Series, Vol. i. p. 13.
