the beck, and at one part of the wall there is the appearance of a 
hut building (?). 
Mr. Allan says that on a ridge of ground betwixt the two streams 
feeding the old baths, S.W., there is an isolated block of stone, 6 ft. 
by 6 ft. broad and 2 ft. high, on which are carved 16 cups, 6 of 
which are surrounded by rings. In the centre of them are two 
grooves which cut at right angles. Height 700 feet above sea level. 
Near to Grainings Head, some 1200 feet high, Mr. Allan notices a 
stone of great interest. It is a block of native grit 12 feet long by 
7J feet wide and 4 feet in height. The longest side faces S.E. and 
slopes at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizon, and upon it are 
nearly 50 cups, 16 of which are surrounded by single rings and 3 
with double rings and radial grooves. At the other side or end near 
to the top is a curiously formed pattern of double grooves somewhat 
resembling the Swartica emblem discovered by Dr. Schlieman. At 
the highest part of the stone there is a rock basin 9 inches wide and 
8 deep. On the vertical end of the stone are cut four cups, three of 
which have rings. This, says Mr. Allen, is one of the few instances of 
the cup and ring marks being cut on a vertical surface. Upon this 
we may say that such figures (the simplest) are very common upon 
vertical pillars. See Long Meg, at Salkeld, the Calder-Stones near 
Liverpool ; in the tumuH of New Grange, and Douth, Ireland ; in 
caves of Morbihan, Normandy ; upon the rocks in Ethiopia, in the 
palerstini mosaic, Italy ; and upon the phallic stones in Fiji. A 
careful rubbing of this so called Swartica figure gives the size to be 
21 inches by 18. Rising from the village of Ilkley S.W. we pass 
by a villa erected by Mr. Joseph Lund, whose southern boundary 
wall crosses a large block, smooth topped, sloping N., having upon it, 
much worn down, a series of cups and rings, and one or two connect- 
ing grooves. Near to this stone Mr. Lund turned up with his spade 
a beautifully cut " thumb flake," Ik inches in diameter. It is in per- 
fect preservation in the Leeds public collection. Betwixt this and 
the Panorama rocks there are several incised stones which we pass as 
having no special feature, except being of the chart types and hori- 
zontal in position. Rising the hill S.W., about a mile from Ilkley, 
we come to the Panorama rocks, upon the top of which there are a
