GEOLOGY OF EAST ANGLIA (VOL. II, P. 323.)

In furtherance of the object of your correspondent TYRO, I would mention that there is on Hartest Green, in Suffolk, a very large boulder of mountain limestone, which formerly had even more the appearance of a logan stone than it has at present. As I happen to be acquainted with the history of this stone, it may be of interest to record it in your pages. It was brought to light over a century ago in a clay pit at the top of Hartest Hill, a rather steep ascent on the other side of the river, and was removed thence by a Mr. Carter, who resided near to it, and in whose field it was found. He had it conveyed on a strong sleigh or dray to its present resting place, and set on its point, several small stones being placed around it to keep it from rolling over. These are the facts of the case as I had them many years ago from the lips of parties who were acquainted with Mr. Carter, and perfectly cognizant of all particulars.— C. D.

The Tau in the Drury Arms (vol. III, p. 225.)-There is an interesting account of the Tau' in the second series of Mr. Baring Gould's Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, in the chapter of " the Legend of the Cross," and in the appendix, on "Pre-Christian Crosses"; but the primary matter of inquiry is, as I take it, how came it into the Drury Arms? At what date did it first appear there? Were any of the Drurys brothers of the order of St. Anthony?—SUFFOLCIENSIS,

May not the tau in the Drury Arms be a canting allusion to the name of the family, the taú being a well-known Dru-idical symbol.-M.

Dunwich Roses.-In a volume of poems by the late Bernard Barton, p. 258, is this note :- "There is yet to be found growing on the hills and "heaths about Dunwich a small and very sweet rose, peculiar I believe to "the place; and said to have been brought thither by the monks. There "is also a tune called Dunwich Roses, known in the county." I shall be obliged to any of your readers who can give me a copy of this tune; or any further information about the air, or the peculiar roses to which it owes its name. What is the botanical name of this rose, its size, &c.? And has it been at all met with elsewhere?-SUFFOLCIENSIS.
