Insists on the original continuity of the tertiary strata of the basins of 

 London and Hampshire. " Tlie wreck of the harder portions of [tertiary] 

 sandy strata thus destroyed [by water] is sufficiently evident in the 

 enormous blocks of sandstone which not only occur in Wilts, in numbers 

 so great as to lie like a flock of sheep in the valleys near Hungerford, and 

 thence derive the local name of graywethers, but are in more or less 

 abundance co-extensive with the entire surface of the chalk . . . Their 

 abundance at Clatford Bottom, near Marlborough, between the Druidical 

 Temples of Aveburj' and Stonehenge whose materials they have supplied 

 is mentioned in my Seliquue Diliivianoe. Windsor Castle is built of a 

 similar stone, found in insulated blocks on Bagshot Heath."

Suggests that Major Wilford, who believed that he had found references to 

 Stonehenge, etc., in Sanscrit, was probably deceived by the Pundits he 

 employed.

"A few years ago Sir N. Lockyer promulgated the theory that Egyptian 

 temples and pyramids were oriented to stars, wliich were sacred to certain 

 Egyptian divinities, and to the sun at certain points of his course." If 

 these stars could be discovered, the dates of erection of the temples could 

 be given. Finds that in the case of the temples examined, some were 

 oriented to a Centauri (-2700 B.C.) : others date B.C. 1200 -700 ; while for 

 a third group of temples the star Fomalhaut was used.
