Mr. Lukis was the author of many works on barrows, and other pre- historic monuments, and was a practical barrow digger on an ex- tensive scale, in various parts of England, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, and elsewhere. The Society of Antiquaries, London, published his scale plans of Rude Stone Monuments, with descrip- tive text. He also edited, for the Surtees Society, Dr. William Stukeley's Diaries and Letters, published in three volumes; and when the Ripon Millenary Festival was celebrated, in 1886, he was an active member of the committee, which was formed to carry out the arrangements, and wrote an interesting and valua- ble article entitled " Ancient Ripon," since included in Mr. W. Harrison's " Millenary Record" (a beautifully illustrated volume published at Ripon, in 1892). <br />
