Some of these Cromlechs were distinctly visible, whilst others were 

 only traceable by the circles of stones round them, the superincum- 

 bent slabs being about a foot or two below the surface of the ground, 

 and often covered over by bamboo clumps and low jungle, shewing 

 that they had not been disturbed by the hand of man for ages past. 



3. Some were found without top or side-slabs ; but, in some cases, 

 the .granite of which these slabs consisted, was so far decomposed, that 

 it crumbled to dust and could scarcely be traced in the soil. One had 

 no side slabs, but had slabs at each end and at the bottom. Another 

 had no top slab, but the sides and bottom slabs were perfect, and 

 in one end-slab, facing the east, was the segmental aperture which 

 formed the entrance or door, as described in my former reports. This 

 Cromlech was situated within a circle of stones of 25 feet diameter. 

 All the Cromlechs in this locality were within such circles, and some in 

 concentric circles. Again in another the top consisted of 2 large slabs, 

 each one foot thick. 



4. The Rev. Mr. Richter, the Principal of the Government Central 

 School, has kindly photographed one of the Cromlechs. f It is within a 

 circle of 14 feet in diameter^ consisting of rough unhewn boulders of 

 granite, 3| feet high, and 2 feet broad, The aperture is 1 foot 7 inches 

 wide by 1 foot 2 inches deep. The top slab is almost on a level with 



* Measurement of top slab only.
