“Early British Trackways” gives interesting details of a discovery made since midsummer last by Mr. Alfred Watkins, a past-President of the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club. He finds these pre-historic tracks to have been in straight lines sighted from mountain heights, and that all mounds (tumuli) and moats in the West Midland district are marking or sighting points on these lines. Also that all camps, churches, castles and crosses (if of ancient date) are upon these sighted lines, and that place names in hundreds of cases confirm the fact. The book, which is profusely illustrated, provides a new objective for field ramblers and scout masters. It is published at 4s. 6d. by the Watkins Meter Co., Imperial Mills, Hereford.
