Mr. 0. G. S. Crawford's excellent quarterly, Antiquity (Gloucester :

John Bellows, 5s. 6d.) is as readable as ever in its September issue. We may mention Mr. Cover's article on Cornish place-names and Mr. Wildte's account of " Scandina- vian Thing-steads "—one of which, we might add, was at Thingwall in South Lancashire, while another was at Fingest in Oxfordshire. Of " Rock-pictures and Archaeology in the Libyan Desert " Mr. Newbold gives a fascinating account, with many illustrations which show that the desert-dwellers drew men and beasts very much as the cave-man did and the modern child does now, simplifying the forms into strokes and circles.
