tal, whose K side faces N. 5" E. Obelisk very slightly, if at all, rotaied, but 

 the W. edge of its base was found projecting 2 in. beyond the W. edge of the 

 surbase of the pedestal, and the centre of its base was now about 3 inches 

 W. and 1 in. N. of its original position. On the E. lower edge of the obelisk, 

 was seen a large flake, not yet detached, but showing a cleft about a quarter of 

 an inch wide at bottom, and running upward about 8 inches ; the thickness of 

 flake at bottom being about 1 in. On a subsequent visit this supposed flake 

 proved to be two fragments, one at N. E. and the other at S. E. corner of base 

 of obelisk, both having now fallen.
