112 INSCRIBED STONES. 



He has mentioned one of my suggestions as to a tentative 

 reading, but I have never yet offered any reading of this 

 legend which has appeared to me conclusive. 



Whether the incisions are intended for a grouping of 



symbols and letters, or whether they are all letters (single, 



conjoined or in monogram), may be questioned. I certainly do 



not regard any of them, as some have done, as intended for 



figures of '* masons' tools," or their craft-marks. If all form 



letters, as in my opinion they do, it has been surmised that 



they may stand 



for \ ^^ST^^^i- 

 ' \ Angnoti. 



or for C!ongnoti. 

 ' ( Congnoti. 



or, for some differently spelled names (of the deceased and his 

 father) in the genitive case. The Rev. Canon Browne, late 

 Disney Archseological Professor, and others, have sent me some 

 suggestions ; if more can be kindly forwarded to me they will 

 be welcome, and I may be able to acknowledge some of them in 

 my volume on the " Inscribed Stones of Cornwall," which has 

 been many years in preparation, and has lately been announced 

 for publication. 



THE BLEU-BEIDGE STONE, GULVAL. 



This well-known very interesting memorial (similar in class 

 to the foregoing) was washed down from its position, into the 

 bed of the stream, during the floods last Autumn, but the Vicar 

 of the Parish, the Eev. W. W. Wingfield, of Gulval, Dr. Hugh 

 Montgomerie, of Penzance, and others, with praiseworthy 

 promptitude, took steps as soon as possible for its rescue, and 

 had it re-erected, not far from where it had previously stood — 

 but on a safer site. 



It has been often figured and described (see Dr. Borlase's 

 Antiquities, Plate XXX ; also my drawing of it in Yol. 8, p. 

 336, of this Journal ; &c.)
