Woodhouse Bequest. — By an instrument dated 24th February 1866, the late Mr. James 

 Woodhouse, of Corfu, bequeathed to the Trustees of the British Museum his collection of 

 coins and other antiquities, formed during a residence of many years in the Ionian islands, 

 where he formerly held the office of Treasurer. 



The coins thus bequeathed to the British Museum are noticed in the Report of the Keeper 

 of Coins and Mtdals, p. 27 infra. 



Of the other antiquities comprised in this bequest, the following have been handed over 

 to the Trustees by Her Majesty's Consul General at Corfu, who took possession of the 

 effects of Mr. Woodhouse immediately on his demise : — 



(1,) A marble altar, with festoons, and bulls' heads sculptured on it in relief. 



(2.) A female head sculptured in relief in white marble, which appears to be modern 

 •work, probably of the 18th century. 



(3.) A small heart sculptured in white marble, of doubtful antiquity. 



(4.) Three nodules of iron pyrites. 



(5.) A modern brass seal of the island of Zante. 



(6.) A fictile lamp in the form of a toad, not antique. 



(7.) Fourteen Greek leaden weights. 



(8.) Eight Greek pyramidal leaden weights. 



(9.) Three bronze weights. 



(lO.) Small brass weight of Ithaca, with head of Ulysses in relief. 



(ll.) One modern leaden weight. 



(12.) Three impressions in lead. 



(13.) A large comic mask of terra-cotta. 



(14.) A saucer of variegated glass. 



(l5.) A small glass bottle of variegated glass. 



(i6.) Two deep saucers of coloured glass. 



(17.) An amphoriskos of blue glass. 



(18.) An oinochoe of green glass. 



(19.) Small bottle of yellow glass, moulded so as to imitate a date. 



(20.) Ten gold signet rings. 



(21.) Fourteen gold rings. 



(22.) Ten pairs of gold earrings. 



(23.) Six gold plates, with figures in rehef. 



(24.) Four gold pendants, two of which are in the shape of a crescent. 



(25.) One crescent-shaped pendant hanging from a chain, the whole of gold. 



(26.) Gold amphoriskos, hanging from a pin. 



(27.) Head of Athene in cameo, cut on a sardonyx. This head seems copied from the 

 same original as the celebrated Vienna intaglio in jasper, and probably represents the head 

 of the Chryselephantine statue of Athene by Phidias. 



This cameo is a beautiful work. It is described by Vischer, in his notice of the Wood- 

 house Museum (Epigraphische und Archaologische Beitrage aus Griechenland, Basel, 

 1855, p. 2.) 



(28.) Five medallions, a ring, a pair of earrings, three pendants, and two small plates, 

 the whole of gold. Found in a tomb at St. Helena, in Corfu.
