Metropolis Society discusses Indian mounds and rites findings
The Metropolis notice reports the Roya Asiatic Society meeting with Sir A Johnstone in the chair. New member W R Hamilton of the Royal Geographical Society joins. Captain Newbold contributes a letter on ancient mounds in Southern India and their possible origin. The discussion rejects volcanic action and notes massive barrows, some 34 by 29 yards, possibly ash from battles. Sacrificial rites appear in various ancient cultures, including Druids and Tartary nomads, with modern Curds likely to be rid of the practice. No signs of volcanoes between the Himalayas and Cape Comorin are observed.
