To the evidence derived from classical writers as to the nakedness of some of the inhabitants of early Britain, it is possible to add the evidence of the memorial stone. This example is reproduced from Sir Arthur Mitchell's _Past in the Present_, and there is at least one other example. 18. REPRESENTATION OF AN IRISH CHIEFTAIN SEATED AT DINNER (from Derrick's _The Image of Ireland_, by kind permission of Messrs. A. & E. Black) 183 This is reproduced from the very excellent reprint (1883) of this remarkable book, published originally in 1581. The whole book is historically valuable as showing the undeveloped nature of Irish culture. The flesh was boiled in the hide, the fire is lighted in the open camp, and the entire rudeness of the scene depicts the people "whose usages I behelde after the fashion there sette downe." 19. LONG MEG AND HER DAUGHTERS (from a photograph by Messrs. Frith) 193 20. STONE CIRCLES ON STANTON MOOR (from _Archæologia_) 193 Nos. 19 and 20 are illustrations of two of the lesser-known circles about which the people hold such curious beliefs. 21. CHINESE REPRESENTATION OF PYGMIES GOING ABOUT ARM-IN-ARM FOR MUTUAL PROTECTION (from Moseley's _Notes by a Naturalist on H.M.S. Challenger_, by permission of Mr. John Murray) 242 22. SEMANG OF KUALA KENERING, ULU PERAK (from Skeat and Blagden's _Pagan Races of the Malay Peninsula_, by permission of Messrs. Macmillan) 242 23. NEGRITO TYPE: SEMANG OF PERAK (from the same) 243 24. SEMANG OF KEDAH HAVING A MEAL (from the same) 244 25. TREE HUT, ULU BATU, ABOUT TWELVE MILES FROM KUALA LUMPUR, SELANGOR (from the same) 298 The old-world traditions and the scientific observation of pygmy people are illustrated in No. 21 and Nos. 22-25 respectively. Though much has been written about the Pygmies, Messrs. Skeat and Blagden's account of the Semang people is by far the most thorough and important. 26. RITE OF BAPTISM ON THE FONT AT DARENTH, KENT (from Romilly Allen's _Early Christian Symbolism_) 324 The crude paganism on the sculptured stone is confirmatory of the pagan elements preserved in custom, and this illustration from Kent, one of the earliest centres of Christianity in Britain, is singularly interesting from this point of view. 27 and 28. TWO SCENES FROM THE ANGLO-SAXON LIFE OF ST. GUTHLAC BY FELIX OF CROWLAND, DEPICTING THE ATTACK OF THE DEMONS 351, 352
