14 OUP-SnAPED AND OTDER LAPIDAPvIAN SCTJLPTDRES. 



11. — Standing stone, nearly ten feet liigli, in the neighborhood of Edin- 

 bnrgh, where it is known as the "Caiy Stone." Between two and three 

 feet from the ground is sculptured on one of its sides a horizontal row of 

 six cups, placed closely together (Simpson, Plate XVII, 1). A view of this 

 stone, differing from Simpson's representation, is given by Professor Daniel 

 Wilson.'* 



12. — Isolated stone near Balvraid, in Inverness-shire, Scotland. It 

 measures above six feet in length, and is covered with many cups, five paii's 

 of which are joined by straight or curved grooves (SimpsoB, Plate XIV, '2). 

 Eeproduced as Fig. 9. 



1 3. — Stone found among the ruins of an ancient fortification at Laws, 

 in Forfarshire, Scotland. The stone shows sixteen cups, which form an 

 irregular oval group (Simpson, Plate XII, 5). Fig. 10 in this publication. 



14. — Rock lying in a wood behind the church-yard of Kirk Bi-addan, 

 in the Isle of Man. On one side eight cups are distributed without order; 

 on the other an equal number is recognizable, and here two pairs are con- 

 joined by straight grooves (Simpson, Plate XXVI, 4). 



16. — The Baal or Balder Stone, near Falkoping, Sweden (Simpson, 

 Plate XXXI, 1). It will be described and figured in my notice of Swedish 

 cup-stones. 



Professor Simpson represents in all about a hundred stones upon which 

 figxu'es are sculptured, and my enumeration shows that among these only 

 sixteen bear exclusively cup-shaped cavities, which are in some instances 

 conjoined by grooves. I have to mention, however, that he also alludes in 

 his work to a number of simple cup-cuttings which he does not figure. I 

 presented the preceding summary simply for the purpose of showing that 

 cups unaccompanied by other figures are not very frequently met with 

 on stones in Scotland, England, and the smaller islands belonging to Great 

 Britain.
