[From Manx Crosses, 1907]
Marshall Cubbon [Proc IoMNHAS vol 9 no 2 p169 et sec] wrote:
It is also unfortunate that in 1928 (when he was 73) he instituted a new numbering system of the Manx cross-slabs, revising the numbering that he had established in his great book of 1907. Every one who has worked on the Manx crosses since 1928 has experienced the confusion and frustration that the dual numbering has produced. But there is no way this can now be rectified satisfactorily: the brass discs he had let into the carvings perpetuate the later numbering system, and photographs of the crosses showing these brass numbers have been supplied to scholars all over the world, and have now been — and will continue to be — widely published. That is the official numbering established by Kermode, recorded in the Manx Museum's register of cross-slabs, and it will in time supersede the numbers used in his own great book.
This new number (now superceded by a more descriptive reference) is given below (taken from the 1994 reprint which has an error re 73/78)
