Mr. Lang, in his article on the’ Cup and Ring,’* mentions how in Argyll a woman who desires to have a baby will slide down a cup-marked {i.e., an inscribed) rock, and adds that the sliding is attested by a chief of Clan Diarmid... J. H. RIVETT-CARNAC. Schloss Wildeck, Switzerland.
From Notes and Queries, April 27th, 1901.
*I believe this refers to the 1899 article in the ‘Contemporary Review’.
