e eastern extremity of these floors evidently another long strip of 48
or 50 yards still remains to be uncovered. Doubtless there are other
remains beneath the ground which will be laid bare as the work of mining
goes on. All these floors were not deeper than from 18 to 30 inches
below the surface of the soil. The bones of animals and other relics
have been found in the covering soil and have been turned up by the
miners from time to time. The pavement is all worked out with cubes,
varying in size from an inch and a half to two inches square, each piece
being placed in position with most careful exactness. The strip which
extends 48 yards and is 13 ft. wide runs due north and south. There is a
second patch, running east and west, and this is 27 ft. long by 10 ft.
wide, while a third is 27 ft. long by 11 ft. wide, this also running in
a northern direction. To the north of this latter piece, and separated
only by about two feet (about the width of a wall, which very possibly
was the original division), there is a strip of tesserae 16 ft. wide,
which had been laid bare 40 yards. It was thought probable that at the
end of the last named strip still another patch would be found. Mr.
Ramsden, the manager of the Ironstone Works, is keeping a plan of the
whole of the pavement, which he is coloring in exact imitation of the
original work. This, when completed, will be most interesting, and he
will be quite willing to show it to any one desirous of inspecting the
same. Many persons have paid a visit to the spot where the discoveries
have been made, and surprise is invariably expressed at the magnitude
and beautiful symmetry of the work.

Several interesting fragments of Roman work have been brought to light
in the course of excavations that are being made for building purposes
at Twyford, near Winchester. About a month ago, a paved way, composed
entirely of small red tiles, six feet in width and extending probably a
considerable distance (a length of 14 ft. was uncovered), was found
while digging on the site for flints. The more recent excavations are 20
ft. west of this passage, and there is now to be seen, in a very perfect
state of preservation, an oven or kiln with three openings. Five yards
away from this is a chamber about eight feet square, paved with tiles,
and the sides coated with a reddish plaster. On one side is a ledge 15
in. from the ground, extending the whole length of the chamber; on the
floor is a sunk channel wi
