War Memorials and the Barochan Cross. By L. M. Maim.

(W. Hodge. 2s. net.)—Mr. Mann describes in this pamphlet an interesting Celtic cross at Barochan, in Renfrewshire, which still stands but is rapidly decaying. He thinks that it was erected about the year 900, though the dating of such crosses is highly conjectural. Mr. Mann suggests that local war memorials might well take this traditional and beautiful form, with sculp- tured reliefs illustrative of the war which they commemorated.
