20 ACCOUNTS, ESTIMATES, lUC. OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 



(30.) Gold necklace, with three pendant cameos, said to have been found in a tomb in 

 Ithaca, but of doubtful authenticity. 



Besides the objects named in the above list, the museum of Mr. Woodhouse contained, 

 at the time of his decease, various other antiquities, the exact quantity and quahty of which 

 cannot be here stated, inasmuch as Her Majesty's Consul General, though l^e took possession 

 of the effects of Mr. Woodhouse immediat. ly on his demise, declined U> make an inventory 

 of his antiquities, though requested to do so at the time. 



It further appears by the Consul General's account of his proceedings in this matter, that 

 the objects in the foregoing list which he sent to the Museum, were selected by himself, 

 with the assistance of other ptrsons, and that he handed over the remainder of the antiqui- 

 ties to Mr. Woodhouse's heirs-at-law. 



In default of more precise int'ormaiion as to the valuable collection which has been thus 

 dispersed. Mr. Newton begs to subjoin the follow mg list of objects, which, from information 

 obtained at (;orfu and elsewhere,^ he believes to have formed part of the Woodhouse 

 museum.
