To summarize : we may add that there are thirteen perfect towers, 

 ten of which retain their ancient caps, two most of the cap, and one in 

 which the blocks of the cap have been recovered and rebuilt. Of those 

 which have only lost the cap twelve remain, twenty-seven are three 

 to six stones high, ten are mere stumps, and twenty-eight recorded 

 towers are totally demolished. 



In the hope that this paper may lead others to undertake a definite 

 work (collecting facts, and as far as may be avoiding theories), or at 

 least to supply Papers on the numerous towers imperfectly described 

 and illustrated, these notes have been laid before the Academy.
