 not calcined, but broken down into fmall fragments, fo that 

 they refembled thofe found in the rock of Gibraltar. The 

 ftone is reprefented of an irregular figure, about five feet in 

 length and two and a half in breadth. On the furface of it 

 are traced, near one end, fix concentric circles, at equal diftances 

 from one another ; the diameter of the largeft is about eighteen 

 inches. The other lines traced on the ftone are fo very irre-
