, the fire is lighted in the open camp, and the entire rudeness of the scene depicts the people "whose usages I behelde after the fashion there sette downe." 19. LONG MEG AND HER DAUGHTERS (from a photograph by Messrs. Frith) 193 20. STONE CIRCLES ON STANTON MOOR (from _Archaeologia_) 193 Nos. 19 and 20 are illustrations of two of the lesser-known circles about which the people hold such curious beliefs. 21. CHINESE REPRESENTATION OF PYGMIES GOING ABOUT ARM-IN-ARM FOR MUTUAL PROTECTION (from Moseley's _Notes by a Naturalist on H.M.S. Challenger_, by permission of Mr. John Murray) 242 22. SEMANG OF KUALA KENERING, ULU PERAK (from Skeat and Blagden's _Pagan Races of the Malay Peninsula_, by permission of Messrs. Macmillan) 242 23. NEGRITO TYPE: SEMANG OF PERAK (from the same) 243 24.

TWO SCENES FROM THE ANGLO-SAXON LIFE OF ST. GUTHLAC BY FELIX OF CROWLAND, DEPICTING THE ATTACK OF THE DEMONS 351, 352 These two plates belong to a series of eight which illustrate the life of the saint.
