^HE writer believes that the following account of the examina- 

 tion of the Stoneheng-e barrows will be found interesting and 

 useful. It is fuller than Sir R. Hoare's own analysis in the "Tumuli 

 Wiltunenses." The barrows of the Lake, Wilsford, and Winter- 

 bourn groujis, will be found to have been numbered on the large 

 map of "Stonehenge and its environs'' according to the enumera- 

 tion of them in the smaller plans in vol. i. of Ancient Wilts, and 

 in that of the Winterbourn Stoke group (which adjoins the long 

 barrow), in Dr. Thuruam's account of the Wiltshire Barrows, 

 (vol. xliii. of the "Archaeologia.-") Two or three barrows which 

 had been marked as belonging to the Winterbourn and Lake groups 

 in the large map, and which were not to be found in the smaller 

 plans, have been erased.
