A cist, only 3 feet 8 inches long, was found at the same time, which was a 

 good example of a short cist, and its walls were formed of rude slabs of sandstone. 



Arniston and Melville, Mid Lothian. — In the same year I examined on the estates 

 of Arniston and Melville long cists similar in construction. Seven of these were 

 exposed at ArnistoD, whilst draining a field ; from one cist I obtained a skull 

 (Table VIII). No grave goods were found, and the bodies had been buried in the 

 extended position. At Melville Grange a single long cist was on view when I visited 

 the place, but the factor told me that in previous years others had been observed 

 similar in character. No grave goods had been found in any of these cists, and in 

 that which I saw the skeleton was too fragile to be removed.
