Additions to our Knowledge of the
Natural History of some Devon-
shire Sea Fishes, 470. The diffi-
culty of studying fish life and fish
habits; the spawn of the herring
adheres to objects at the bottom of
the sea; the eggs of the cod are
buoyant and non-adhesive; the
spawn of the pilchard floats as
transparent globules, 471; young
pilchards are very slender and
quite transparent; brit and white-
bait; mackerel feed on them; the
so-called sardines are young pil-
chards, 472; flat fish, when
young,
undergo a remarkable metamor-
phosis, one eye passing round to
the opposite side of the body, and
the blind side becoming colourless,
473; the size and age of fish, 474;
the salmon begins to breed at two
years old or three years old; the
male conger never exceeds three
feet in length; all above that
length are females; congers feed
voraciously till they are ripe, then
cease to feed, and in a few months
die, 475.

Additional discoveries at the Castle,
Exeter. With Plan, 147. In
continuation of a former paper on
the subject of certain discoveries
made at the Castle, it may be re-

marked that on the 9th of October,
1891, a large portion of the inner
face of the Castle wall fell, and, it
having been decided to pull down
the Keeper's Lodge and erect a new
one in a better situation, its re-
moval revealed the weakness of
the Castle wall behind it; a great
part had been on the top of an
agger, or rampart of earth. In
November the outer face fell; pho-
tographs were taken, 148; the
County Surveyor's description;
the Castle Keeper's new Lodge,
149; skeletons, coins, and other
things found under the floors; de-
scription of the coins, "black

Worth, R. N. Materials for a Census

of Devonian Granites and Felsites,
183. Although these rocks in
different localities present an in-
finite variety and dissimilarity of
appearance, they are, in reality,
closely allied to one another; the
difficulty of tracing thin dykes to
their origin; the Trowlesworthite
specimen; De la Beche on the
Granite quoted, 184; close rela-
tionship between the elvans and
the mass; Godwin-Austen's sugges-
tion as to three periods of granite,
now reduced to two, i.e., the
granites and the elvans; the theory
of a volcano, 185; the Cawsand
felspathic trap at Withnoe, 186,
211; dyke of quartz porphyry
near the Trias at Thurlestone; the
granite of Dartmoor is later than
the surrounding Carboniferous
rocks, and earlier than the red-
rock breccias, 187; a growing con-
sensus that these breccias are Per-
mian. List of Rocks, 188. Volcanic
grit in Cattedown detritus, 190; a
highly altered slate, fused by the
granite, and almost wholly recon-
stituted, and resembling a compact
red felsite, 192; a schorlaceous
griesen with golden mica, its
parent rock not known, 196; vol-
canic breccia, somewhat resembling
the volcanic grit at Cattedown;

a

fluor associated with granite at
Gunnislake, Dartmoor, and Lundy,
197; a granulite containing green
tourmaline and topaz, 199;
specimen of compact felsitic rock

Worth, R. N. The Stone Rows of
Dartmoor, 387. Uncertainties re-
specting the alleged Avenues near
the Drewsteignton Cromlech, 390;
the triple row near Cosdon Beacon,
392; Dr. Croker's double row on
Shapley Common, 394; two double
rows above Merivale Bridge; dis-
agreement in the descriptions by
different writers, 396; a pair of
Avenues at Harter, and cairns and
stone circles, 397; the largest
menhir on Dartmoor, 17 ft. 10 in.
long, 400; at Cholwich Town many
of the stones are of unusual dimen-
sions, 401; the stone row begin-
ning at Stalldon Moor continues
for 2 miles, with 798 stones in
place, 402. Other examples occur-
ring elsewhere: England, 405-
examples occurring in other coun-
ties; stone row and menhirs on
Maddocks Down, Exmoor, 405;
at Avebury, Stanton Drew, &c.,
406. Scotland: at Callernish, in
Lewis; stone rows in Caithness,
Yarhouse Moor, Battlemoss, and
many other places, 407. France:
Carnac and the neighbourhood.
India, 408. Near Hit, on the
Euphrates, Mushmaie, &c. Specu-
lations, 409. General Features of
the Rows, 412. Their plan, di-
rection, straight and curved, con-
nected with cairns, stone circles,
cromlechs, kistvaens; the theories
of many observers, 414. Conclu-
sion That the stone rows are
purely sepulchral, or connected
with sepulchral remains.
