humed the Mausoleum, and added to the examples of Greek art 
a brilliant series of sculpture and reliefs of the later Athenian 
School which flourished about 350 B.c. 
“The more archaic sculptures of the Hiera Hodos or Sacred way 
at Branchidee near Miletus, removed by Mr. Newton to England, 
have formed an important contribution to the known examples of 
Ionic sculpture, as the inscriptions from the same site have done 
to Greek paleography.” 
Examples have also been procured from the Rhodian Camirus, 
and later still portions of the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, 
through the exertions of Mr. Wood. 
The efforts of Dr. Schlieman in endeavouring to ascertain the 
site of ancient Troy have imparted new interest to the Troad, an 
interest indeed which will never die so long as 
‘* Immortal themes which could beguile 
The blind old man of Scio’s rocky isle” 
are made the study of our youth. But though he may not have 
succeeded in ascertaining the undoubted existence of the site of 
that city, yet he has come upon remains of the deepest interest 
to the archological student, and his perseverance may eventually 
be rewarded in the recovery of the site of ancient Troy. The 
efforts of Mr. Parker at Rome must not be overlooked. By his 
exertions the most ancient portion of the walls have been brought 
to light and careful photographs made of them, and the later 
portions also, built under the emperors. The series of photo- 
- graphs, now accessible to all, are of the greatest value to historical 
and archeological students; he has also obtained photographs 
of the most ancient frescoes in the Catacombs, and his elucidation 
of the ancient aqueducts is also of much value, and the system of 
water supply to the city. 
The investigation of the Megalithic remains of India, and the 
examination of barrows in the East, have accumulated objects by 
means of which we are enabled to trace the affinity existing 
between modern races and those which once occupied the regions
