ceived in Washington and was temporarily deposited with the 
National Institute. It is now in the Smithsonian Institution. 
MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS. By Unknown Artist. 
This was one of the paintings acquired with the collection of 
John Varden. In the catalogue of the National Institute it was 
attributed to Raphael d’Urbino, but on what authority is not 
stated. It is, in fact, only a part of a larger painting from which 
it has evidently been cut, and contains four figures, two of 
adults and two of children. The canvas, now in the National 
Museum, is much worn and the surface more or less defaced. 
The painting is apparently of Italian origin, and of some merit. 
It measures 47 inches high by 37 inches wide. 
A TURKISH BATTLE PIECE. By Unknown Artist. 
This painting received from John Varden, who obtained it 
from J. H. Caldwell, is now in the National Museum. It meas- 
ures 29 inches high by 51^4 inches wide.
