date, and as, moreover, the declination for that part of Catalulia may- 

 be taken as approximatively the same as that of Foix given in the 

 " Annuaire du Bureau des Longitudes," I have marked out for each 

 case the bearing relatively to true north. 



Having therefore corrected the data furnished by the author 

 for declination in each case, the following results have been obtained, 

 which show evidence of grouping according to three or four general 

 directions: — 



Dolmen de Pinana (p. 5), Termino de \ N. 58° 30' W. 

 Pinana, prov. de Lerida, ) S. 58° 30' E.

 mino deCampm any, prov. de Gerona, 



Dolmen de la Viiia Munera(p. 18), Ter- 

 mino de Campmany, prov. de Gerona, j S. 14° 30' E. 



Practically all the directions are more or less N.W./S-E., the 

 entrances of the dolmens being to the S.E. Were the drawings of the 

 author completely reliable as regards the direction indicated, the 

 evidence of grouping might be taken as sufficient ; but there being 

 wanting any detail which would enable us to estimate the degree of 

 precision to be attributed to the sketches, it is both advisable and
