gentleman. This tumulus presented features similar to the 
Nemnet Tumulus, but was much less perfect in its internal con- 
struction ; only two chambers were found in different parts of 
the Barrow, but the dry walling was similar. 
A Tumulus near Nympsfield was also opened 1862 by the 
Cotteswold Club, and has been described by the President of 
that Society, Sir W. V. Guise, Bart. The form and arrangement 
of this Tumulus was similar to that of Uley, and the contents 
were similar also. 
In 1864 another Tumulus of like construction was opened. at 
Ablington, in Gloucestershire, and formed an elongated oval 
270 feet long by 100 feet wide, and 12 feet high. It stands 
N. NE. at the larger end, and is built of oolite stone covered 
with soil and turf. This was surrounded with an outer wall 
of dry masonry like that at Wellow, and had an entrance 
of like construction. 
The chambered ‘Tumuli in Wiltshire have had the attention of 
the late Dr. Thurnam, who has carefully recorded their construction 
and their contents, and given drawings of the chambers in his 
papers in the “ Archeologia” (see vols. aazviit. and alit.), as well 
as in the “Wilts Arch. Mag.” (see vol. iii. p. 164 ); but it 
would occupy too much time to dwell upon the peculiarities of 
these Barrows; they are chambered, but the chambers differ 
from those in Somerset and Gloucestershire. 
The chambered Tumuli for which Brittany is noted, have 
happily received from the Rev. W. C. Lukis very careful exami- 
nation, and he has carefully classified and arranged them in a 
paper read to the Archeological Association, in September, 1866, 
and printed in their proceedings for that year. He has there 
given plans of the different arrangements of the chambers to be 
found within Brittany and in this Island, and also in Jersey. 
Archeology owes much to his labours as these have been con- 
ducted with great pains and careful observation. He considers 
that the round Barrows were lengthened into long Barrows by
