A delightful, healthy, and instructive hobby is described by Dr.
J. P. Williams-Freeman in his introduction to ;Veld Archaeology as Illustrated by Hampshire (Macmillan and Co., 1Se net). Dr. Williams-Freeman has spent his leisure for the last eight years in examining the earthworks of Hampshire, defensive, sepulchral, domestic, and miscellaneous. In this interesting and clearly written volume he gives the fruit of his researches in the form of an itinerary, prefaced by a general description of the Hampshire earthworks, and followed by appendices which describe his methods, and include summary lists of the chief objects of interest. It would be carious to know what the archaeologist of a thousand years hence will make of the numerous new earthworks which have been superimposed on the soil in the last few months.
