but is covered by the hoarding now fixed there.
No. 32. This stone is on the outside wall on the northern side of the
bridge, and is in fair condition.
No. 31. Could not be found, but it was understood that it should be
under the bridge in the line of railway, it was however
thought that the marks in the bridge were adequate.

the measurement marked thereon being "36 feet 3 ins. east,"

marked thereon being "36 feet 3 ins. east," and was in fair
condition.
No. 29a. Has been removed from its proper place between the rails to
about six feet nearer the embankment and been turned sideways,
the inscription being almost buried in the earth ; it was
consequently resolved that the stone be reinstated in its
former position, and repaired if necessary.
No. 28. This stone is situate on the railway, being a flat stone and in
good condition.
No. 27. This stone is alongside of the railway, and is in good condition.
No. 26. This stone was found in position, but the inscription relating to

that the same be recut " 33 feet 3 ins., east."

found, it was therefore decided that the same be fitted if
necessary.
No, 17. This stone could not be found, although there is a Hammersmith
stone fixed in the wall of St. Paul's School premises, without
any measurement cut thereon, it is therefore assumed that
this stone is the limit of their boundary, and that a Fulham
stone should be fitted alongside thereof ; there is strip of land
between No. 155 Hammersmith Road and the last mentioned
point, which, it is understood, was formerly used as a means of
access to the Old Black Bull Ditch ; this land was found to be
blocked at the end by the wall of St. Paul's School; and the
Portion nearest the Hammersmith Road was filled by old
building refuse and trucks, a wooden gateway was also fitted
