The fishermen had recognized that this patch of dark soil, indicated that a hole had been dug in the sand and afterward filled again, sod in their opinion a hole twelve fest deep and three feet wide must have been a wall; but its contents clearly showed the purpose it bad -sarved, and proved that a Roman villa' bad-

From the cottages by the cove our pro- ceedings were watched with much interest, and from time to time a curious fisherman or fisher boy, wearing an air of indiference or abstrac tion, would saunter toward us along the beach. At first it was bellored that we were search-

THE, IMPERIAL COLONIAL CLUB, :

The potsherds and other relics dií. covered in the pit had the appearance. of having beeo burled in layers; but this, ne doubt, was due to earth”, having been thrown into the pit from time to time to cover up de- composing.animal,and vegetable matter. There was no abundance of broken pottery, but most of it was coame gray ware with little or no or namentation, and only interesting on account of the varied desigos of the fragmentary · rims scarcely two of which were molded on precisely, the same lines. A few places of Samian ware acemed to have belonged to a fine vessel which had been ornamented with mythological figures and there were miso some blueish fragments.THE above Club is formed "chiefly" for with a scroll pattern in white lief. The old beachman who had brought us the news of the discovery of the pit remarked that the people who had broken so much crockery must have been "regular smashers," | and he added significantly that he had known of a house where a difforance of opinion among. the inmates sometimes led to a destruction of | the plates and dishes.
