100 CUP-MARKINGS. 



Similar monuments are erected at the present day by 

 some of the hill tribes of India, who are the remaining repre- 

 sentatives of the aboriginal inhabitants of the country. 



Since this paper was read, the attention of members has 

 been directed to some other cup-marked stones. 



1st, A stone at the entrance to the quarry west of 

 Swansea Villa, Vale. On this, there is one distinct cup-mark 

 similar to those already described on its vertical face, a less 

 distinct one on the top, and some smaller indentations which 

 appear to me of doubtful character. This stone has been 

 offered to the Society for preservation. 



2nd, A large stone forming part of the erection to 

 support a gate across a road called Route du Passeur, opening 

 on FAncresse Common. There is a distinct cup-mark on 

 this stone, which is on the south side of the gateway. 



3rd, A stone at St. Saviour's, near the original pumping- 

 station of the Guernsey Waterworks Company. 



4th, A stone at the Fosse, St. Martin's, part of an old 

 cider-press, it has been lying in the road close to the chapel 

 for about 20 years. The stone has been hollowed to form 

 part of the trough of the press ; on the opposite side of the 

 stone are a number of well-marked cups, which may be 

 described as being in two sets, separated by a gutter running 

 across the stone from one of the cups, which are rather 

 smaller than those on the Forest or Vale stones. None of the 

 other stones forming the trough are thus marked. 



Careful search may lead to the discovery of other 

 similarly marked stones. It is to be hoped that steps will be 

 taken to preserve these as well as the few ancient stone 

 monuments still left in the island.
