the aid of the Vicar, accounted for all of those that remain, 
making a total of 66 in number. As to the purposes for which 
such groups of stones were arranged, he thought that from an 
original symbolic origin they subsequently developed into uses - 
judicial as well as funereal and memorial. 
The Rev. H. H. Winwoop, having been called on by the 
Chairman, said that he congratulated the Club that one of their 
younger members had given so careful and judicious a paper, 
merely stating the plain facts of the case without launching out 
into any fanciful theories ; with regard, however, to one point he 
must demur. Mr. Tucker had spoken of one of the stones being 
“ Limestone,” and having a “shell” in it. Now he thought it 
would be safer to say that they were alla Conglomerate. _He had 
never seen any one of the stones there that could be called a 
“Timestone,” and as to the shell he challenged Mr. ‘Tucker to 
show him one. They probably came from the neighbourhood, and 
were a peculiar form of the Conglomerate which fringed our 
Mendips. At the same time it was an object worthy of the 
members of the Club to try and ascertain whence these stones 
came ; they were probably not far off. One other point as to their 
future preservation—he stated that during a recent visit there 
with General Pitt Rivers, the Government Inspector of Ancient 
- Monuments, arrangements were made for their future security, 
and they were in the process of being scheduled amongst the other 
remains in the county worthy of preservation. 
The CHAIRMAN returned the thanks of the Club to Mr. Allon 
Tucker for his paper, and the judicious restraining of his fancy 
from going into theories. As to the name of Drew being derived 
from a family of that name, he would mention one fact in corro- 
boration. Drew Steignton, a well-known place in Devonshire, 
was the same name slightly altered, and records show that a 
family of the name of Drew, who lived in Exeter, was connected 
with that place. There was yet another derivation he could 
venture to give. Drew was the old name for a stream, and the
