Abstract
THERE is one place where the sounds mentioned by Mr. Cave (p. 512) can be (or used to be) heard to perfection. This is at the lower end of Beaumont Street, Oxford, where the road widens out in approaching Worcester College. The pavement and the fence adjoining it take a crescent form, and while walking on the former quite a loud metallic musical note may always be heard. The fence consists, or consisted, of boards, in front of which are iron palings, the uprights of which had a square section.
