MEETINGS. 13 



in the island under proper supervision. Some of these altars 

 are, I believe, private property. They should be, if possible, 

 bought up and given in charge of some of the nearest 

 neighbours. This ought to have been done years ago and 

 thus have saved many a grand old land mark, viz., a Druids' 

 altar at St. Andrew's, one near the Bailiff's Cross, another at 

 Richmond, another at the back of Paysans, on the St. Peter's 

 road to L'Eree, the Rocking Stone at the Vale, and many 

 etceteras. 



I found pebbles on the same hill as the Creux des Fees, 

 about 350 feet to the south. The level of this find is 52*00. 

 This makes this beach the same as the Rouvet, the Chapelle 

 of the Vale, &c, &c. This information I have passed on to 

 our President. 



On the 17th. September I found a cave between Les 

 Tielles and the Watch House on Mont Herault. On the 

 4th December I again visited the cave in company with Mr. 

 Nesfield. It proved to be larger than I at first thought ; it 

 measured 60 feet long by 18 feet high and 20 feet wide at 

 the entrance ; it then tapers to the end giving about 6 feet 

 high and 4 feet wide. The floor is above high water mark. 

 A slip has occurred blocking in the mouth of the cave and 

 just allowing a person to creep in. All this part of the coast 

 is worth a day's visit being quite a paradise for geologists. 

 There is a cave a little farther on, just over the natural arch 

 in the cliff, many of you may have seen. This cave is larger 

 than the one above mentioned, and was the resort of a man 

 for a week when he was being hunted for by the Custom 

 House officers in the good old smuggling days. This cave is 

 quite inaccessible now as a landslip has cut off the difficult 

 path to it. " Les Confleurs," not far from the cave, is well 

 worth a visit. 



Mr. Nesfield acoompanied me to see the old building 

 called " Colombier," situated about a quarter of a mile to the 

 south of St. Peter's Church in the Wood. One would 

 suppose from the name that it was once a dove-cot, but one 

 can hardly suppose that the owner wanted walls 2 feet 10 

 inches in thickness, a doorway 3 feet 3 inches, and a circum- 

 ference of 58 feet to be used for holding pigeons. At present 

 it is only from 12 to 14 feet in height. The whole ruin is 

 thickly covered with ivy, the stem of great thickness. The 

 only information we could get from the owner of the property 

 was that his father received five francs for putting the stones 

 and rubbish inside the building, when the roof fell in, about 

 eighty years ago, What the building was like he never heard.
