bourhood appears in “ Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association,” xviii., 
pp. 146—161, with geological map of the Vale of Wardour and two

Old Sarum, Woodford, Stonehenge, Bemerton, Fisherton, Dinton, 
Chilmark, and Teffont Ewyas were visited and notes are given on the 
geological exposures seen. The specimens of the Knowle flints in the 
Blackmore Museum are specially noted, and ‘‘ the polished or varnished 
looking streaks across them” are said to be ‘‘due probably to silica 
deposited by running water.” Speaking at Stonehenge, the president, 
Mr. H. W. Monckton, thought that on the whole the evidence was some- 
what in favour of the older theory, ‘‘ that the stones [the bluestones] were 
brought by man from the West of England, or from some other. distant 
place,” and against Prof. Judd’s theory that they were boulders found 
on the plain.
