454 The Public Health Act, 1872. [October, 
the central avenue, and at Kerlescant it is a large segment, 
and not a complete circle.” 
We do not quite follow Mr. Lukis in the last observations; 
for does not the separation of the circle from the head of 
the lines at St. Pierre rather intimate a certain indepen- 
dence of the two monuments? or again, perhaps, indicate a 
bi-fold arrangement, similar somewhat to that previously 
noticed in this paper as occurring, either accidentally or 
intentionally, at Kerlescant? Supposing that eight ad- 
ditional lines ran easterly from the St. Pierre circle, we 
should have an almost parallel example to those at Ker- 
lescant and Menec. 
The plan of the Kerlescant monument is evidently the 
most complete example remaining to us, exhibiting, besides 
its remarkable symmetry of design, an intelligible ending or 
finish, viz., a series of avenues terminating in a circle, close 
alongside of a smaller but similar series leading up to a 
sepulchral barrow. Nowhere else do we find complete 
circles, tumuli, and lines associated together. We meet 
with lines without circles (see the table, p. cxxv.), although 
traces of circles may yet be discovered in connection with 
them, but seldom circles without lines. Two instances 
alone of these latter are given by Mr. Lukis, one on the Ile 
aux Moines, and the other on the Ile El-Lanic; but as the 
sea has encroached on the south-east side of this latter 
island, so as to have washed away a considerable portion of 
the circle itself, some of the stones composing it being yet 
visible below low-water mark, so, probably, there formerly 
existed avenues leading to it.

HE A@ of Parliament bearing the above title, and 
eu dated the roth August, 1872, is mainly an Act for the 
division of the county into sanitary distri¢ts, for the 
constitution of certain sanitary authorities, and for the trans- 
ference to those authorities of all existing powers and 
obligations of a sanitary nature. 
Clause 51 of this Act enacts that “every sanitary authority 
shall have power to direct the destruction of any bedding, 
clothing, or other articles which have been exposed to in-
