This we afterward obtained, and brought them to England.* 
The place where ail these antiquities have been discovered 
is rather a conical mountain than a hill, bearing the name of 
Kuchunlu Tepe , at two hours’ distance from "Beyramitch, to¬ 
ward Gargarus. Indeed, it has been placed by nature so as 
to resemble a sort of advanced position at the base of that 
mountain, immediately beneath its summit The Mender, or 
Scamander, flows at its foot This river is here generally 
called Kasdaghy, from the name now given to Gargarus, the 
mountain whence it issues. The principal site of the antiqui¬ 
ties upon Kuchunlu Tepe is about half way up the side of the 
immense cone bearing that name ; but very remarkable remains 
may be traced thence all the way to the summit. These will 
be described in the sequel. Having arrived at the base of 
the cone, we left our horses by the side of the river, and as¬ 
cended to the ruins. The first appearance that struck us was 
an oblong area, ninety-two yards long and fifty-four wide, 
covered with fragments of terra cotta , and also with pieces of 
ancient glass, such as broken lachrymatories, and other small 
vessels. On the north side, part of a wall remained by which 
the area was originally inclosed, about fourteen feet in height. 
The w ork seemed to be of the age of the Romans, from the 
baked titles, four inches thick, and the cement used in its 
construction. On the western extremity of the area were 
considerable remains of baths, whose stuccoed walls and ear¬ 
thenware conduits were still entire in several places. . An ex¬ 
cavation had been made by the Turks, oji the south side, for 
the stones of the foundation, to the depth of ^twenty-two feet 
By the appearance of the foundation, the walls, on this side 
at least, were double, and admitted a passage between them. 
Above this area (perhaps that of a temple), toward the north, 
were tombs. We entered an arched vault, thirteen yards 
long, and five wide, and saw near it the remains of a bath, 
w anting only the roof. Here lay some columns sixteen inches 
in diameter, among pieces of broken amphoree, fragments b£ 
'marble, granite,-basalt, -blue chalcedony, and jasper. The
