The author distinguishes five principal elements in the British fauna. Of 

 these the most important is the Oriental Migration, whose route was from 

 Asia Minor via S. Italy and Sicily into N.W. Africa ; and thence by Spain 

 and Brittany into the South of England and of Ireland ; [just the line along 

 which we can also trace the use of megalithic structures] .

Deals largely with research into the history of nations by means of the study 

 of languages. Other chapters treat of the introduction of metals ; animals ; 

 clothing ; dwellings ; religion, etc.

Scott's opinions about Stonehenge are embodied in his notes to the fine 

 poem which Dryden addressed to Dr. Charleton, and which was first 

 printed as a sort of prologue to Charleton's Chorea Giyantum, in 1663. 

 Scott falls into the old error of stating that " Stonehenge is expressly 

 mentioned by Nennius." \_See Vol. XI., pp. 12 — 17.] Scott thought 

 Stonehenge to be " a Saxon erection, during their days of Paganism ; for 

 it is neither mentioned by Caesar nor Tacitus, who were both likely to 

 have noticed a structure of so remarkable an appearance."

" Stonehenge and Avebury are to Britain what the Pyramids are to Egypt — 

 the colossal and mysterious relics of an otherwise unrecorded age, and 

 people."

The notes on "Stonehenge" occupy pp. 49—50 ["Third Song"] of the 

 edition of 1613. Quotes "Geoffrey of Monmouth's " account ; and also 

 Sidney's lines, etc. Selden himself writes : — " Whether [the stones] be 

 naturally solid or with cement artificially compos'd, I will not dispute. 

 Although the last be of easier credit ; yet I would, with our late historian 

 White, beleeve the first sooner."
