The intermediate and subsequent Cases in this Room 
are filled with Greek vases, of which great numbers 
were found in sepulchres within those parts of the 
kingdom of Naples anciently called Magna Grascia. 
Most of these vases are ornamented with paintings, 
representing a variety of subjects, chiefly mythological, 
the compositions of which are truly elegant. The 
forms of the vases are much varied, and are equally 
simple and beautiful. 
THIRTEENTH ROOM. 
In this room is placed the large and valuable collec¬ 
tion of casts, chiefly architectural, which belonged to 
the late Sir Thomas Lawrence. They were bequeathed 
by him, on payment of a sum much inferior to their 
real value, to the Royal Academy, by whom they were 
presented to the British Museum. 
On the left hand, next the floor of the room, are five 
plaster casts of the very remarkable sculptured Me¬ 
topes discovered at Selinus in Sicily by Mr. Harris and 
Mr. Angell, in the year 1823. Presented to the Mu¬ 
seum by Samuel Angell, Esq .
