G. E. L., 139: a north-east and south-west axis is founcHn the 

 stone rings of the Cheviots ; and in Guernsey, Touraine, etc. 



Sikes, J. C, 5, XII., 317 : gives quotation from " Our Own 

 Country." 



Mayhew, A. L., 6, III., 125 : In Welsh, Stonehenge is " Cor 

 Gawr," the Circle of the Giants. 



Druid, 6, IV., 428 : refers to "the tlioughtless destruction of a 

 tin tablet dug up at Stonehenge in the time of Henry VIII." 



Rayner, H. G-., 6, VI., 26 : gives a quotation (re sunnse) from 

 the Western Gazette. K. P. D. E., 87 : mentions the Zurich 

 Letters. 



Lynn, W. T., 8, II., 508 : has heard of " A French Stonehenge"; 

 where is it ? [In the next vol. (III.) Bethell X. ; J. C. Moore ; 

 and Col. H. Malet (pp. 92—3) mention Carnac as bearing this 

 title : while W. T. Lynn (p. 137) quotes from Larousse's Grand 

 Dictionnaire, in which it is said that there is nothing in France 

 like Stonehenge. 



St. Swithin, 8, XL, 324 : describes the legend of the " Stone- 

 henge Bird." 



Taylor, Isaac, 9, III., 43 — 4. Writing of the use of the 

 term " stone " in topography, refers to " Stonehenge, the great 

 megalithic monument on Salisbury Plain, where the upper 

 stones of the great trilithons overhang [M.E. hengen — to hang]." 

 This explanation of the name is confirmed by the name Steinhang 

 in Germany, where there is a precipice with overhanging stones.

 and a writer in Le Temps for 23 Jan. speaks of the idea as still 

 current in England among country people.
