490 Notes. 



(3) On page 249 it is said that the remains of a tesselated pave- 

 ment towards the north of Chamber VIII. were "unfortunately 

 removed in 1898 without proper measurements being taken." This 

 also is incorrect. I purchased this piece of pavement from Mr. 

 Hardy in November, 1901. Mr. Hardy had himself removed what 

 remained of it, viz., the centre portion (21in. X 21in.) which consists 

 of a two- ringed knot pattern of white, red, and blue tessera?, and set 

 it in a wooden frame. The rest of the pavement (a white and blue 

 fret border) had been destroyed by the frost. This piece of pavement 

 is still in my possession, and I shall have much pleasure in presenting 

 it to the Society's Museum at Devizes. As regards the portion of 

 pavement removed from Chamber IV., that, unfortunately, fell to 

 pieces out of its frame ; but I hope at some future date to have it 

 re-set, and I shall then gladly forward it to the Museum at Devizes. 



(4) page 265. The figure stated to have been found in 1898 was 

 ; really found by me in September, 1901, after I had removed the 



pavement from Chamber IV., which was a passage. The Eev. H. H. 

 Winwood kindly showed this figure to Prof. Boyd Dawkins, and 

 . afterwards wrote me as follows : — " Professor Boyd Dawkins has 

 seen the figurine and considers it of the same class as the Tanagra 

 figures. May be Greek and very beautiful. {Signed) H.H. Winwood. 

 Sept 20/01." It is also incorrectly stated that some fragments of 

 pottery were found by me in 1898. These fragments were found by 

 Mr. Hardy, and I afterwards purchased them. 



In conclusion, I beg to say, I shall be very pleased to present what 

 I have from Box to the Museum.

Chippenham, Old Town Hall. The question of the future I 

 disposal of the Old Town Hall was discussed at a meeting of the I 

 Chippenham Town Council in October, 1909. The building has been | 

 used by the Territorials as an armoury, but has recently been vacated i 

 by them, and a proposal was made that it should be let as offices. The 

 Town Clerk made an earnest appeal for its preservation as an historical i 

 ralic, and a general feeling was apparent among the Councillors that to 

 whatever use it might be put the building itself and its fittings should . 

 not be in any way interfered with.
