the four or five days that our friends were able to devote 

 to a rapid survey of the Island ; and we were pressed then, 

 and on many occasions since, to extend our observations 

 to other parts of the ground and to earlier and later traces 

 of human life and work. 



The pamphlet on the Meayll stone circle has been 

 long out of print and is often asked for, the single copy 

 at the Port Erin Biological Station is frequently borrowed 

 by students working at the Institution, and the Curator — 

 Mr. Chadwick — informs us that from the applications 

 made to him by visitors it is clear that if the work were 

 reprinted there would be a considerable demand for it. 



As we have for some years taken every opportunity 

 that offered of exploring the antiquities of the Island, and 

 as a considerable accumulation of unpublished notes and 

 drawings is now in our hands, we have decided while 

 reprinting our account of 'the stone circle on the Meayll, 

 to let that monument now take its proper place in the 

 series, and, by adding some description of the still earlier 

 and the later prehistoric and eohistoric Manks remains, to 

 form what we hope may prove a useful illustrated intro- 

 duction to local archaeology.
