in connection with Mr. Shore's theory that the 

 builders worshipped the sun and made them point 

 towards its rising and setting ; but Mr. Shore added 

 that they worshipped the pole-star as well. Mr. Dale 

 remarked that the tumuli were similar in character to 

 those at Hythe and Fawley. 



During the meeting at the hotel the Rev. G. W. 

 Minns, Mr. Whitaker, and Mr. Greenfield were elected 

 to represent the club at the meeting of the Society ot 

 Antiquaries. 



A LIST OF HAMPSHIRE NEWSPAPERS. 



Having been asked to compile a list of Hampshire 

 newspapers for the new edition of Mr. H. M. 

 Gilbert's " Bibliotheca Hantoniensis," I shall be glad 

 to enlist the aid of any readers of the Hampshire 

 Independent in making it as complete as possible. 

 BeN'ond the lists of papers in Mitchell's, May's, Sell's 

 and other newspaper press guides which necessarily 

 exclude defunct papers I am not aware of any 

 attempt to make an approximately complete list of 

 those connected with the county. The following is 

 by no means perfect, but it will serve as a nucleus, 

 any additions to which or corrections will be 

 welcome. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are 

 still published. 



It will be seen that I have included the names 

 of some newspapers, not actually printed in the 

 county, which make a practice of publishing cor- 

 respondence from the parts of Hampshire adjacent to 

 their own counties. The collection brings to light 

 some curious facts. We see, for instance, how some 

 papers displayed a fondness for changing their names, 

 a practice which it would be thought must have been 

 very inconvenient. The Hampshire Chronicle was 

 the greatest sinner in this respect ; and this paper 

 was also more than once mixed up in another incon- 

 venient practice when two papers of identical titles 

 were published simultaneously. When, for instance, 

 that paper, which was originally printed in South- 

 ampton, changed hands and was removed to Win- 

 chester in 1778, the former publisher started another 

 Hampshire Chronicle in Southampton. A few years 

 later the Winchester paper similarly usurped the title 

 of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal, and in 1814 it 

 adopted similar questionable tactics to combat the 

 Hampshire Courier, ot Portsmouth. Evidently the 

 cop3"right laws could not have been very severe then.
