XXVII. Of Several Sepulchral Inscriptions and Figures in Bas-relief, discovered 

 in 1755, at Bonn in Lower Germany. By J. Strange, Esq., F.R.S. p. 195. 



About May 1755, in digging some foundations in a garden belonging to his 

 serene highness the Elector of Cologne, at Bonn in Germany, several ancient 

 Roman sepulchral stones were found. Eight of these, being thought curious on 

 account of the bas-reliefs and inscriptions carved upon them, were soon after 

 fixed up against the wall of an inner open court of the electoral palace at Bonn, 

 where they still remain. The drawings which are sent, are faithful copies of 

 these antiquities, which being in the highest preservation, and the inscriptions 

 on them containing nothing more than the usual form, it would be impertinent 

 to enter into any particular description of them. Mr. S. however remarks the 

 singular barbarity of the Roman soldiers' names in these inscriptions.

XXX. On the Solubility of Iron in Simple Water, by the Intervention of Fixed 



Air. By Mr. Lane, Apothecary, Aldersgate-street. p. 21 6. 



After premising that the various impregnations of mineral waters have always 

 been very difficult to explain, and that whoever has read the divers, and often con- 

 tradictory reasonings on the subject, must clearly perceive that there is still 

 room for discoveries in this part of natural history ; Mr. L. observes that Mr. 

 Cavendish, by his account of fixed air, and of Rathbone-place water, related in 

 the last vol, of the Phil. Trans, had obliged the public with many additional 

 lights on this branch of knowledge; and from his known accuracy and diligent 

 pursuits in most philosophical inquiries, the learned world had great reason to 

 hope for many other new and useful improvements. To his judgment therefore 

 he submitted the following ex{«riments: which were intended to show, that iron
