The following Communications were read : — 



1. The conclusion of Dr Traill's paper on the Ruins of 

 Babylon. 



The author, after noticing the ancient writers who have left us 

 any description of Babylon, mentioned the short accounts of Ben- 

 jamin of Tudela, of Bauwolf, Pietro delta Valle, Pere Emmanuel, 

 Niebuhr, and Bcmchamp, from which little information is to be de- 

 rived, compared to what may be gathered from a succession of 

 British travellers ; among whom, first in point of time and import- 

 ance, is Claudius James Rich, late British consul at Bagdad, whose 

 steps have been successively followed by Kinneir, Ker Porter, 

 Buckingham, Keppel, and Mignam. 



He next gave a general description of the ruins, and a more de- 

 tailed one of the Kasr, the Mujellibah, the Embanhment, and the 

 Birs Nemroud. The first he considered as the ruins of Nebuchad- 

 nezzar's j)alacc ; the second as belonging to the palace, or to its 



All till' abovi! were prrgpnfed by tlio French Government.
