These articles are another example of pre-Watkins landscape geometry. The sites considered are mostly in Derbyshire. In the first article, Matthews describes lines running due south and 30° east or west of north. In the second, he considers points that align not merely on the map, i.e. in 2 dimensions, but in 3-dimensional space. He also extends the set of angles to include the whole clock face.

Thomas Arthur Matthews (1850–1914) is listed in the 1911 census at Ashbourne, Derbyshire, as a retired civil engineer and public works contractor.

The second of these articles was republished in The Ley Hunter, no. 83 (1978), pp. 3–5.
