In a letter to Sir Joseph Banks, by our Neapolitan Minister, the antiquary Sir William Hamilton, there is an allusion to a standing stone at Isurnia, that was duly dedicated to Saints Cosmo and Domiano. Astle, F.R.S., in 1798, remarked— "The ancient practice of consecrating pagan antiquities to religious purposes has been continued to modern times." ANIMAL WORSHIP. That religion was early associated with animals admits of no question. The Apis worship of Egypt prevailed several thousand years before Christ. xAnimals have served as Totems to the tribes of America and other parts, but have been certainly regarded as religious symbols in most lands. The four Evangelists are to this day symbolized by such creatures.

Birds share in the veneration. The Dove, which was held sacred at Hierapolis, and the symbol of Mithras was honoured in West Scotland and in Ireland ; for Bollandus records that "a snow-white dove, with a golden bill was wont to sit on the head of St. Kentigarn while occupied in sacred rites." The name of St. Columba also su
