174 EDITORIAL NOTES. 



to Derbyshire archaeologists, it is thought advisable to postpone 

 a detailed report of the proceedings until our next year's volume, 

 in which Arbor Low and its mysteries will assume a special 

 prominence. To this end, Mr. St. George Gray has kindly 

 promised to contribute a paper upon his researches, with copies 

 of his diagrams and photographs ; Mr. Arnold Bemrose will 

 treat of the geological points of interest ; and Mr. Hubbersty 

 will deal with the origin and transit of the great limestone slabs. 



The Five Wells Tumulus, Miller's Dale. — Attention is 

 directed to an account, in The Reliquary of October last, by 

 Mr. John Ward, F.S.A., of the exploration of this interesting 

 chambered barrow by Mr. M. Salt, of Buxton, and his sons. 

 " They found that the whole mound, where not disturbed, was 

 built of thinly-bedded quarried limestones, rudely coursed, and 

 that the podium was simply the facing of the general construc- 

 tion." The article is replete with interest to the prehistoric 

 antiquary, and the discoveries which have resulted are unusually 

 comprehensive from a single tumulus. Finally, it is with 

 pleasure that we read " I can assure the reader that in our 

 various diggings on the venerable site we did not knowingly 

 disturb a single stone of the original construction." 



Members will greatly assist the objects of our Society if they 

 will kindly forward particulars or newspaper reports of any 

 incidents, apparently important or otherwise, which come under 

 their notice, relating to the archaeology or natural history of our 

 county, to
