There will be published during March a booklet on “Early British Trackways,” being details of a discovery made since midsummer last by Mr. Alfred Watkins, a past president of the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club. He finds these prehistoric 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 is profusely illustrated by the author, who is a Progress Medallist of the Royal Photographic Society.
