Geology of Salisbury and the Vale of War dour, a full

 bourhood appears in "Proceedings of the Geologists' Association," xviii., 

 pp. 146 — 161, with geological map of the Vale of Wardour and two 

 sections. 



Old Sarum, Woodford, Stonehenge, Bemerton, Fisherton, Dinton, 

 Chilmark, and Teffont Ewyas were visited and notes are given on the 

 geological exposures seen. The specimens of the Knowle flints in the 

 Blackmore Museum are specially noted, and " the polished or varnished 

 looking streaks across them" are said to be "due probably to silica 

 deposited by running water." Speaking at Stonehenge, the president, 

 Mr. H. W. Monckton, thought that on the whole the evidence was some- 

 what in favour of the older theory, " that the stones [the bluestones] were 

 brought by man from the West of England, or from some other distant 

 place," and against Prof. Judd's theory that they were boulders found 

 on the plain.
