(2nd S. viii. 400.) - Amongst other gigantic, or conspicuous figures cut on hill sides, if last, yet surely not least, must be commemorated the far-famed Giant of Cerne in Dorsetshire - the Baal Durotrigensis of Mr Sydenham - the Cenric, son of Cuthred of Hutchins, - standing , or rather lying, 180 feet in height, and bearing a club 120 feet long. Nor must the colossal White Horse of Bratton, near Weatbury, in Wiltshire, be forgotton - an effigy which probably dates from Saxon times. Nor - since your correspondent does not limit his inquiry to an ancient monuments - the equestrian figure of good old King George III., ambling over the Downs at Osmington, near Weymouth. C.W.
