including the lodge for gates, &c., from Constantine. The 
Constantine granite was used for the Wellington Memorial at 
Strathfieldsaye, the shaft of the column being a monolith 
30 feet in height. 
The Cheesewring granite has been used in the London Docks, 
Westminster Bridge, the Thames Embankment, Rochester Bridge, 
the docks at Copenhagen, the Great Basses Lighthouse, near the 
island of Ceylon, and for the tomb of the Duke of Wellington 
in the crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral. The De Lank or Eddy- 
stone Quarries, near Bodmin, furnished the stone for the New 
Eddystone Lighthouse, and for works at Blackfriars Bridge and 
elsewhere. 
Cornish granites nre exhibited from the following localities : — 
Lamorna Cove, Paul, Castle-an-Dinas, Marazion, Madron, 
Ludgvan, Constantine, Carnsew, Mabe, Penryn, St. Austell, 
St. Blazey, Lanlivery, Luxullian, Roache, Lanivet, Withiel, 
Bodmin, Castle Quarry, St. Breward, Cardynham, St. Neots, 
Trewoon, Halvasso, and the Cheese wring. 
Devonshire granites are exhibited from the Fremator quarries, 
near Tavistock, and from Blackenstone, Hay tor, and Trowles- 
worthy on Dartmoor. The Haytor quarries, on Dartmoor, 
supplied the granite for a great part of London Bridge. 
In addition to the granites from our western counties noticed 
above, a few other specimens are exhibited from localities of 
much less importance. Shapfell, in Westmoreland, furnishes a 
beautiful porphyritic granite represented by the Column No. 188, 
and by the plinth of the pedestal which supports the bust of 
Prof. Sedgwick. The Shap granite, with large salmon-coloured 
crystals of orthoclase, has been extensively employed of late 
years in London, and fine polished examples may be seen in 
the posts around St. Paul’s Cathedral ; in the columns of the 
Midland Railway Terminus, St. Pancras ; and in the Temple Bar 
memorial. 
Mount Sorrel , near Charnwood Forest in Leicestershire, yields 
a pink hornblende-granite, which has been employed in the 
decoration of the eastern wall ; and a grey granite from this 
locality is represented by some polished cubes. The base of the 
pedestal No. 205 is from the boss of granite which penetrates 
the surrounding schists on the south-eastern side of South 
Barrule, one of the highest points of the Isle of Man. The 
granite of Lundy Island is represented by several cubes in 
Cases III. and VI I. 
From the Channel Islands , especially from Guernsey, large 
quantities of granite, mostly hornblendic, are exported, chiefly 
for use in London and elsewhere, as road-metal, pitching, and 
kerb-stones. Specimens are exhibited in the table-cases from 
the quarries of Mount Mado and La Perruque in Jersey, and 
from Guernsey and its dependency, the little island of Herm.
