L and M, in Fig . i and 2. are Two Tubuli or Flues, 
12 Inches wide and 14 deep, for carrying off the 
Smoke: The Bottoms of them are even with the 
Bottom of the Alveus , and they are carried upon the 
Level about 15 Feet, under another Room by the 
Side of the Hypocauftum , and then it is prefumed 
they turn upwards. The Walls of this Room were 
plaiftered, and the Plaifter painted red, blue, and 
other Colours, and its Floor teftellated white no
