388 THE ANNUAL EXCURSION. 



to similar circles found elsewhere. On the way to the Fogou, at 

 Bolleit, the well-known Pipers were pointed out, and some 

 remarks made on the traditions relating to them. The Fogou 

 in the valley, an underground passage, built of dry masonry, 

 excited great interest. It is 36 feet long, 6 feet high, and 5 feet 

 broad, and was traversed by the whole of the party. The Eev. W. 

 lago here gave a most interesting account of the probable origin 

 and usages of such subterranean passages, which are not 

 uncommon in ancient settlements. A pleasant hour was spent 

 visiting Lamorna cove, which proved very attractive to the 

 party. Trewoofe mansion house, with its ancient highly 

 ornamented doorway, received the attention of the excursionists, 

 and it was suggested that it would afford a good subject for a 

 paper for the Journal of the society. 



Lynwood, the charming residence of Mr. W. E. Baily, CO., 

 near Mousehole, was reached shortly before 5, and a stay of 

 some duration was made that the members might leisurably 

 examine the beautiful and varied collections to be found in his 

 Museum. Mr. Baily courteously accompanied the visitors 

 through the rooms, and explained the various objects of interest. 

 The very fine collection of casts of fish was greatly admired, and 

 it was considered that it was worthy of a place in a national 

 collection. 



The party was most hospitably received and entertained by 

 Mr. and Mrs. Baily, tea and other light refreshments being 

 served on the terrace, from which one of the most picturesque 

 and charming seaside views in Oornwall is obtained. At the 

 conclusion of the visit Canon Moor, of St. Clement, in a few 

 graceful words, thanked Mr. and Mrs. Baily, on behalf of the 

 society, for the kind and generous reception they had met with. 



Mr. Baily, in gathering together such beautiful collections 

 and throwing them open to the public, is much to be commended, 

 and it would be well if there were others to follow so excellent 

 an example. His efforts in the cause of education are deserving 

 of every success. A pleasant stroll was made to the village of 

 Mousehole, where the quaint old building of the Keigwin Arms 

 was examined with much curiosity.
