I have very great pleasure in presenting to the Society's museum a few very peculiarly-shaped stones or mineral concretions found near Carlisle, similar in external characters to those fairy stones found in Elwand Water, near Melrose, and described at a meeting of this Society, held 5th February 1866, by Sir D. Brewster. These stones or nodules were found about twenty years ago embedded in marl in a deep cutting at Wreay, five miles south of Carlisle, during the formation of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. They were found in great numbers by the workmen, but only in this particular cutting, and excited a great deal of curiosity at the time, but were soon laid aside and forgotten; and it was not until the account of those fairy stones described by Sir D. Brewster appeared, that my esteemed relative, Dr T. Barnes, F.R.S.E., remembered that he had them in his possession, and asked me to present them to the Society.
