MONOLITH WITH CUP-MARKINGS IN HYDE PARK. Recently I noticed in Hyde Park, near Albert Gate, a monolith, with what appeared to be "cup-marks" near the top of the stone. The Secretary to the Board of Works has been good enough to make inquiries as to its history, and informs me that although no record is available in the office, there is reason to believe that the monolith was found on a moor in Cornwall or Devonshire, to- gether with a number of other similar stones, and was brought up to London and placed in its present position in 1860 or thereabouts, under the orders of the late Mr. Cowper- Temple when First Commissioner of Works. Perhaps some of your readers may know something more of its history, which to those who, like myself, are collecting information relating to cup-marked stones will be of interest. J. H.

" KNIEVOGUE." This word occurs in a letter written by Sir Henry Blake, Governor of Hong Kong, to Prof. Rhys, and communicated by the latter to Man : a Monthly fiecord of

Anthropological Science, the first number of which appears the first month of this century. Sir H. Blake tells us that " knievogue," or little saint, was the name given to a stone, now not even in the shape of a human figure, and in two or more pieces, an object of reverence in the island of Inishkea, south of the Mullet, since it had the power of calming the sea in great storms when the fishermen were in danger of their lives, by being brought out from its flannel cover and carried to the sea. It was once the really paramount object of worship in the island. Now, can any Irish scholar tell me what is the etymology of the word "knievogue"? Sir H. Blake. explains the word as meaning "little saint." wonder if I am right in supposing that "knievogue" represents Irish naouvh-dgh, the Blessed Virgin. A. L. MAYHEW.
