Lynn, W. T., 8, II., 508 : has heard of " A French Stonehenge"; 

 where is it ? [In the next vol. (III.) Bethell X. ; J. C. Moore ; 

 and Col. H. Malet (pp. 92 — 3) mention Carnac as bearing this

Taylor, Isaac, 9, III., 43 — 4. Writing of the use of the 



term " stone " in topography, refers to " Stonehenge, the great 

 megalithic monument on Salisbury Plain, where the upper

 current in England among country people.
