IN my communication to NATURE, May 2 (vol. lxxvi., p. 9), I stated that there was another plan of a Gorsedd among the Iolo MSS. at Llanover. The important difference between it and the plan published in that number is the omission of the solstitial stones. It is a May-November Gorsedd pure and simple, based on the equinox, and for that reason very interesting. Both plans are truer to ancient tradition than the present plan favoured by the bards. The present orientation is exclusively solstitial, against the best traditions in point. In the older plans the May-year, is given the preeminence in one, and is the only year given in the other. In both the older plans the circle consists of nineteen stones, leaving open a splayed avenue on the east, the breadth of which corresponds, to the sun's course from August to November and from February to May. Though the present plan of a circle of twelve stones at equal distance from each other is antiquarianly sound, one may regard the older plans as still sounder. I have elsewhere shown that the exclusively solstitial arrangement of the stones in the present plan is about the only point in connection with the bardic Gorsedd of doubtful antiquity.
