ary and unusual as to demand that some degree ofpublic consideration be given to the preservation of this spot.Unfortunately some years ago the volcanic rock, which is a diabase,was thought to be available for highway construction, and the knollor knob was leased for the purposes of producing road metal. Therock has decomposed so badly, however, that it has never wellserved any such purpose. The writer has made an earnest effort to bring this spot underprotection and control and there is a hope, perhaps not too remote,that the place may eventually become the property of the Stateunder the custodianship of the State Museum. If this can beeffected it will be a partial realization of a general public appealmade some years ago by the Director of the Museum for thepreservation of objects of unique or noteworthy natural interest.This appeal met with many warm responses, but could be supportedonly by the activities of local societies or interested individuals, asno State money was available.
