Abstract
AN important addition to the literature of “Cups and Circles” and Cup-marked Stones,1 has just been issued as part of the fifth volume of “Contributions to North American Ethnology,” printed by the Department of the Interior in their series of the publications of the U.S. Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky-Mountain Region. The literature of the subject as regards the Old World is already extensive, and the object of Mr. Rau's work is to collect and systematise the existing information regarding the “cup and ring cuttings” that have been observed on rocks and boulders in Europe and India, and to add to this systematised knowledge an account of those that are now known in America.
