Extract

In a communication by Mr. Stone, read to the Society of Antiquaries in the last session, the writer alluded to the appearance of a number of circles, heretofore looked upon by the country people as “Fairy Rings,” which had been observed by him among the corn. As the summer advanced, additional circles became visible, and finally the number which could be distinctly traced amounted to thirteen.
