of La Trinita, higher up, are remains of a large reservoir.
There are also traces of an aqueduct. The promontory (548 ft.) is crowned
by the tomb of Munatius Plancus, founder of Lugudunum (mod. Lyons), who
died after 22 B.C. It is a circular structure of blocks of travertine 160
ft. high and 180 ft. in diameter. Further inland is the so-called tomb of
L. Atratinus, about 100 ft. in diameter. Caietae Portus was no doubt
connected with the Via Appia (which passed through Formiae) by a
_deverticulum_. There seems also to have been a road running W.N.W. along
the precipitous coast to Speluncae (mod. Sperlonga).

See E. Gesualdo _Osservazioni critiche sopra la storia della Via Appia di
Pratilli_ p. 7 (Naples, 1754).

[1] The two places are sufficiently close for the one villa to have borne
both names; but Mommsen (_Corp. Inscrip. Lat._ x., Berlin, 1883, p. 603)
prefers to differentiate them.

CAILLIE (or CAILLE), RENE AUGUSTE (1799-1838), French explorer, was born at
Mauze, Poitou, in 1799, the son of a baker. The reading of _Robinson
Crusoe_ kindled in him a love of travel and adventure, and at the age of
sixteen he made a voyage to Senegal whence he went to Guadeloupe. Returning
to Senegal in 1818 he made a journey to Bondu to carry supplies to a
British expedition then in that country. Ill with fever he was obliged to
go back to France, but in 1824 was again in Senegal with the fixed idea of
penetrating to Timbuktu. He spent eight months with the Brakna "Moors"
living north of Senegal river, learning Arabic and being taught, as a
convert, the laws and customs of Islam. He laid his project of reaching
Timbuktu before the governor of Senegal, but receiving no encouragement
went to Sierra Leone where the British authorities made him superintendent
of an indigo plantation. Having saved L80 he joined a Mandingo caravan
going inland. He was dressed as a Mussulman, and gave out that he was an
Arab from Egypt who had been carried off by the French to Senegal and was
desirous of regaining his own country. Starting from Kakundi near Boke on
the Rio Nunez on 19th of April 1827, he travelled east along the hills of
Futa Jallon, passing the head streams of the Senegal and crossing the Upper
Niger at Kurussa. Still going east he came to the Kong highlands, where at
a place called Time he was detained five months by illness. Resuming his
journey [v.04 p.0949] in January 1828 he went north-east and gained the
city of Jenne,
