Immediately beyond thispoint all certain traces of the terrace-road disappears. It is noteworthy that, whereas the supposed linetaken by Stane Street after leaving Bignortail Woodpasses six hundred yards east of the Roman Villa atBignor, just before it is lost this terrace road headsalmost directly to it. This terrace is much overgrown by adense thicket of tangled undergrowth, and consequentlyis not easily seen when leaves are on the branches; itbears, however, a narrow and seldom used footpath,which is indicated on the 6-in.

CKIPPS, Esq., This sample consisted of a lump of chalky substancewith some small pieces of flint embedded, and someadherent sandy and earthy matter, which latter wasremoved before analysis. The results of my analysis are as follows:— The figures add up to 10064°/o, but this apparentdiscrepancy is due to the fact that the u Loss onIgnition is also included, at least in part, in the Earthy Matter. From the fact that there is no more calcium silicatepresent than is often found in natural chalk I am ofopinion that the chalk was used as such and has notbeen produced from lime by the action of carbonic acidin the air and rain water. If lime had been used Ishould expect to have found quite a considerable propor-tion of calcium silicate or other silicate soluble in coldhydrochloric acid, produced by the action of
