DISCOVERY OF THE CIST.

+

The top of the cist or grave is two and a half feet under grass level. It is a beautifully bullt rectangulor chamber, the interior dimensions of which are 3ft. Bin. by 2ft. Each side is formed by a massive red sund- stone slab set vertically. In graves of this type there is almost invari- ably a large fat stone slab set over the chamber, covering it completely.

In this case, however, the exca- vator, to his astonishment, found that apparently a cover-stone had not been employed. After remov ing the earth from the exterior of the walling. It was found that the whole of, the, interior space was apparently filled, by dark soil. This was carefully loosened, and lifted out by hand to a depth of nine inches, measured-from the top of the vertical sides. There were then revealed the tops of rounded, water-rolled stones, shout forty in number, averaging about seven inches in diameter. These had evi- dently been carefully placed in poal- tion and earth packed in between them. Probably a covering slub of sufficient size was not available when the burial was made.

discovered with regard to fabric, dimensions, contour, and decoration. The vessel measures, like the others, about 3.3in. across its flat base, and 7.2in. across its mouth, and standa six inches high. The vertical upper half ib bounded round the middle of the vessel by a slight moulding, upon which a series of punch-marka occur; and immediately beneath these are incised lines. The upper and lower portions of the wall are entirely covered by obliquely-set, incised lines, forming lozenge pat- terna.

Sir, In the course of some de sultory reading I have come across the record of the autopsy of the famous centenarian, "Old Parr," conducted by the equally-renown- ed 'Dr. William Harvey on Nov. 16, 1635.
