111 October was dug up a curious butt of a young 
perfon, who has a helmet on his head, adorned with 
a civic crown, and cheek-pieces fattened under his 
chin. Alfo another very fine butt of a philofopher, 
with a beard, and ttiort thick hair, having a flight 
drapery on his left fhoulder. Likewife two female 
butts ; one unknown, in a veil ; the other Minerva, 
with a helmet; both of middling workmanfhip. 
In November we met with two butts of philofo- 
phers, of excellent workmanfhip, and, as may be 
eafily perceived, of the fame artitt ; but unfortu- 
nately, like many others, without names. 
In January was found a fmall, but mott beauti- 
ful eagle, in bronze. It hath filver eyes, perches 
on a praefericulum , and holds a fawn between its 
talons. 
In the fame month we difcovered, at Stabia?, a 
term fix palms high, on which is a head of Plato, 
in the fineft prefervation, and performed in a very 
matterly manner. Alfo divers vafes, inftruments for 
facrificing, l'cales, balances, weights, and other im- 
plements for domettic ufes, all in bronze. 
At length I have finifhed, with much labour, the 
examination and arrangement of the fcales, balances, 
and weights, which are very numerous in this mu- 
feum ; and, what is remarkable, many of the former, 
with all the weights, exactly anfwer thofe now in ufe 
at Naples. At prefent I am confidering the liquid 
meafures ; and alfo engaged in difpofing the paintings 
in the new apartment allotted for them. Thefe af- 
fairs, with my ufual province of infpedting the work- 
men, who are bufied in digging ; my being obliged 
to keep an exadt regitter of every thing, that is dif- 
covered ;
