been the builders of Stonehenge " (!) This erection was the temple 

 of Apollo; so that "to find the birth of A.pollo in the Mound cities of

Blackmore, Dr. H. P. Dr. Blackmore acted as a Director

Blackmore, Wm. [1826—1878.] 



The Blackmore Museum is situated in St. Ann Street, Salisbury. 

 It was founded by Mr. Wm. Blackmore in 1864, and owes 

 much to the labours of his brother (Dr. H. P. Blackmore), and 

 brother-in-law (Mr. E. T. Stevens). The Wilts Archseol. and 

 Nat. Hist. Soc. publislied at its opening a guide entitled " Some 

 Account of the Blackmore Museum," (in two parts, 8vo., v., 238, 

 illustrated : Devizes,) which includes valuable articles by (Sir) 

 Jno. Evans on " Man and his Earliest Known Works " ; and by 

 Dr. Thurnam on " Ancient British Barrows in Wiltshire." The 

 Museum contains good models of Stonehenge ; and a magnificent 

 collection of the stone and other implements used by the modern 

 tribes of savages in all parts of the world. 



Mr. E. T. Stevens' (Hon. Curator) admirable book, Flint Chips, 

 Svo., London, 1870, is itself really an explanation of the contents 

 of the Blackmore Museum ; it includes two chapters written by 

 Dr. H. P. Blackmore. Mr. Stevens has also written an admirable 

 Gtdde to the Museum.

Blight, J. T. 1868. Notes on Stone Circles. Gent's Mag., 

 n.s., v., 308 — 319, with twenty-one small plans. 

 A useful "comparative" paper. Stonehenge " stands alone" ; though it 

 resembles other stone circles in being in the midst of a burial-field, still 

 its plan is unique (p. 318).
