IN Vol. VII. (New Series), 1892-94, pages 93 to 104, is 

 printed a paper I read in April, 1893, upon some records 

 of prehistoric times Avhich maj still be seen on our own 

 delightful Downs. The following notes refer to a verj 

 similar group which exists on the open breezy hill, some 

 distance west and north-west of Long Ashton, about 3| 

 miles in a bee-line from this building. The elevation is 

 about 200 ft. higher than our Downs, varying between 400 

 and 500 ft. ; and the ground on which the remains exist 

 slopes mainly towards the S.E., a favourite aspect for the 

 settlements of prehistoric man in this fair island home of 

 ours. On pages 94 to 101 of the above-mentioned volume 

 is a classified list, and brief summary, of the various stone 

 remains which may reasonably be attributed to our an- 

 cestors in pre-Roman times, and of their leading features. 

 To this I will refer you for information, and not occupy time 

 by a mere recapitulation.
