ment. Baths have been found on the S.W., but from their 
small size Mr. Fox thought that larger ones had yet to reward 
the search of the antiquary. Besides the circular temple found 
by the late Mr. Joyce, they last year found remains of two others 
on the 8.W., the cella of one being about 50 feet square. 
These temples appear to differ from the usual classical form, but 
are similar to those found in the W. of France. Mr. Fox then 
pointed out by the aid of the model before him the different details 
of the house they had just cleared of debris ; it was one of those 
built at the corner of a square and to the W. of the Forum. It 
was apparently a small one, with the usual hypocaust and a 
corridor running to the S., along which were arranged a series 
of small shops ; it had its ash-pit and a detached square room, the 
purposes of which even the imagination of an enthusiastic 
antiquary had not yet fathomed. Mr. Fox then took the mem- 
bers to the temporary museum where the recent “finds” were 
shown and a most interesting collection it was. Elegant 
earthenware pots with ornamentation rather Celtic in 
character; Samian ware embossed with various classic 
scenes, the Segontian Hercules, of course being repre- 
sented as one would expect in Segont, the city of the 
Segontiaci ; necks of green glass vases, portion of the antler of a 
red deer and many other usual Roman remains, amongst them 
Roman coins from the earliest to the latest period, and above all 
three British coins found this year ; but one thing above all Mr. 
Fox prized, a portion of foreign marble which, if his surmise as 
to its locality be correct, was the largest piece of that sort of 
marble yet found in Britain. This may mark the visit of the 
Club on Tuesday, as the discovery of a Roman eagle, on the very 
day that the Club visited Silchester, marked the 9th October, 
1866. It now only remained to visit the Museum over the way, 
where some of the earlier “finds” are housed, and under the 
guidance of Mr. St. John Hope, to walk along the antiquas vias, 
see the destruction that the weather of one winter has already
