they were cut as follows :—! 
Diabases - - - - 10 
Felsites - - - 7 6 
Calcareous chloritic schist - - 7 
Grits and sandstones - - 5 
Unnamed rocks (all of one type, of igneous 
origin and intermediate composition, but 
in a very unsatisfactory state of preser- 
vation) - - - - 6 
One of the sandstones was glauconitic, while one of the “ cal- 
careous chloritic schists” and one of the diabases were taken from 
the stumps of stones discovered by Mr. H. Cunnington in 1881. 
In studying the great mass of materials collected by Mr. Gowland 
I have received invaluable assistance from previous investigators 
of the subject. Professor N. S. Maskelyne very generously placed 
at my disposal his original sections made from fragments chipped 
from the monoliths; while Dr. H. P. Blackmore allowed me to 
have the loan of the fragments themselves, which are preserved in 
the Salisbury Museum. Mr. Fletcher, of the British Museum, 
permitted me to inspect the specimens sent by Mr. William 
Cunnington to Mr. Thomas Davies, with the sections made from 
them, while Mr. Teall gave me further information concerning 
the sections examined by him. I must also mention the great 
assistance I have received from the “ Bibliography of Stonehenge 
and Avebury,” which has been so carefully compiled by Mr. W. 
Jerome Harrison. 
THE CHIPS OF STONES EMPLOYED IN THE BUILDING OF STONEHENGE. 
The series of fragments selected by me from the great collection 
made by Mr. Gowland fall into the following classes. The com-

with respect to the numbers of each type occurring as fragments
