Abstract
THE pond near Chanctonbury, referred to by Mr. J. P. Clatworthy in NATURE of November 2 (p. 8), has generally been regarded as an ancient one; and I may perhaps direct attention to a statement in vol. lvii. of the Sussex Arch. Collections to the effect that it was made by the Rev. J. Goring, the father of the present owner. If this be correct, and the word made should not read as re-made, there is, apparently, no ground for attributing the pond and its fortifications to Neolithic or any other ancient people.
