42 Symbolism of the East and Wêst retainers who sacrificed themselves, or were sacrificed, at the burial of their chief? According to the Hindu reckoning there are nine planets. These are worshipped daily in their special temple at Benares, under the name of the Natigraha, or the Nava Graha. It is most interesting to find this same number nine as cup-marks on stones which evidently belong to the pre-historic age. In the first part of the late Rev. W. C. Lukis' Prc-historic JMoniinicnts of the British Isles, embracing those of Cornwall only, mention is made of a stone monument near St Keverne, now locally called "the three brothers of Grugrith." To use Mr Lukis' own words, " This monument is remarkable on account of its construction. A massive stone of irregular shape, 8 feet by 5 feet, is supported on two stones. One of these is 8 feet 6 inches long, and nearly 5 feet broad, and appears to be a rock in situ, and to have been selected on account of its suitableness ; the other is a slab 7 feet 9 inches broad, and 18 inches thick. It is set up on edge, 2 feet 6 inches from, and parallel to, the former. The remains of a mound are still visible." This monument is given on Plate IV, fig. i. As regards the present paper, the chief interest attached to it concerns the cup-marks, which are nine in number, eight on the cap- stone and one on the rock. In this they coincide with those on the stone on Plate III, fig. i (actual size) found at Kerhan near Arradon, above two miles from Vannes in Morbihan and now in the Museum at Vannes. The nine cup-marks upon it would seem to have been arranged on some special plan ; from its size it might have been a house altar. Plate IV, fig 2, represents a cup-marked stone standing by the roadside in the Forest Parish, Guernsey. Six hollows
