Massalia [Marseilles] was founded by Ionians from Phocsea, B.C. 600. 

 Pytheas sailed from Massalia, B.C. 330, through the Straits of Gibraltar 

 to Cantion [Kent], where he landed and is believed to have gone by land 

 to Cornwall. Afterwards he sailed northwards as far at least as the 

 Shetlands. On a second voyage he reached the mouths of the Bhine and 

 Elbe. He described his voyages in two books, (1) " On the Ocean " ; and 

 (2) the " Periplus " ; fragments only of which survive as extracts in the 

 works of Strabo.

The " Grey Wedders" of Marlboro', Stonehenge, etc., are "of atmospherical, 

 or more appropriately of come tic origin " — meteorites, in fact !

The rocks of Stonehenge may be " fictitious," i.e., artificial; for " there is 

 no stone among the Grey Wethers that I could ever observe so large as to 



equal in bulk any of the lesser sort of Stonehenge." [Vol. I., pp. 97 



104.]

 82—83. 



A reply to a query in the previous vol. (p. 449), asking for the earliest known 

 use of this device. Mr. Masey refers to Exodus, xxvi., 17, " Two tenons 

 shall there be in one board," as the earliest mention on record. The use at 

 Stonehenge of this, " which is an essentially wooden mode of construction " 

 for stone-work " is unique." Adds his ideas as to the methods of moving 

 and raising the stones.

 The great sarsen-stones were erected by the Phoenicians about 1000 B.C., 

 as a temple of the sun. It was re-formed by the Greeks, and the " blue- 

 stones " added about 400 B.C. 



Maskelyne, Prof. N. S. [b. 1823]: Professor of Mineralogy
