Eitthvað af togkömbum mun vera til í byggðasöfnum, þótt ekki séu þeir tíundaðir hér. — Municipal museums in Iceland possess a few togcombs not included in tlvis sliort study. 4 1 Jónas Jónasson, íslenzkir þjóöhœttir (Reykjavík, 1934), bls. 103, er gömlu kömbunum svo lýst, að bakkinn hafi verið 8—9 þuml. (um 21—23,5 cm) langur, en tindarnir um 4 þuml. (um 10,5 cm) eða vel það. — In tlie above source the width of combs is said to range from c. 8—9" (c. 21—23.5 cm); the lengtli of tlie teeth are said to be c. U" (c. 10.5 cm) or somewliat more. 5 Um togvinnu sjá Halldóra Bjarnadóttir, Vefnaður á íslenzkum heimilum á 19. öld og fyrri liluta 20. aldar (Reykjavík, 1966), bls. 68—69 et passim; Þórður Tómasson, „Teygjast lét ég lopann minn,“ Hugur og hönd (Reykja- vík, 1966), bls. 12—14, 23. — Cf. the two above sources for information about how tog was worlced and used. 6 On wool-combs cf.

Iceland. The grave was publislied in Kristján Eldjárn, „Þrjú tcuml norðan- lands,“ Árbók hins íslenzka fornleifafélags 1957—1958 (Reykjavík, 1958), pp. 131t—Hl, H3—144. Very likely the combs from Daðastaðir were similar to the pair of wool-combs found at Hyrt in Norway, cf. Marta Hoffmann, op. cit., pp. 284, Figure 117, wliicli eacli had twenty close set, round teeth,
