re ought to be a
fresco of Fortune with her Wheel (_Memoir_, ch. xx.) The Rocca Borromeo,
Angera, and Arona are mentioned in _Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. xxiv. (new
edn., ch. xxiii.), and several times in the _Memoir_, _e.g._ ch. ix.,
xvi.

20. Water-colour: The Rocca Borromeo. A Room in the Castle. 1871.

I am not sure whether or not this is the room in which S. Carlo Borromeo
was born. One view of that room is in _Alps and Sanctuaries_ ch. xxiv.
(new edition, ch. xxiii). This may be the same room looking towards the
left and showing a piece of window-seat and shutter.

21. Water-colour: Amsteg. 1871.

22. Water-colour: Fobello. A Christening. 1871.

This was to have been a picture for the Academy, but he did not finish
it. Here are shown women with short skirts and leggings. They dress
like this so that they can climb into the ash trees and pull off the
leaves which they throw down upon the grass to be mixed up with the hay.
(_Memoir_, ch. ix.)

23. Oil Painting: Varallo-Sesia. The Washing Place. 1871.

"Butler made three oil sketches at Varallo all the same size, about
16x20. One is the washing place outside the town." (_Diary of a
Journey_, p. 16). The other two were both done in the Piazza on the
Sacro Monte. One was given to the Municipio of Varallo-Sesia; the other
to the Avvocato Francesco Negri of Casale-Monferrato.

24. Oil Painting: Monte Bisbino, near Como. 1876.

_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. xxi. The white sanctuary on the summit
shines like a diamond in some lights.

25. Oil Painting: From S. Nicolao, Mendrisio. 1876.

_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. xxi.

GEORGE McCULLOCH

26. Two lots of studies of women, about 1876.

McCulloch was a friend and fellow art-student of Butler's, and is
mentioned in the _Memoir_, "an admirable draughtsman."

SAMUEL BUTLER

27. Oil sketch: Low wall and grass in front, snowy mountains behind. It
must be a view in the Leventina Valley.

28. Water-colour inscribed "S.B.": Leatherhead Church.

Butler was particularly pleased with the dormer windows, an unusual
feature in a church roof. This must have been done somewhere about 1877,
but there is no evidence. This is one of the pictures given by Alfred.

29. Oil Painting: Montreal, Canada, from the Mountain, about 1877.

30. Oil Painting: Calpiogna, Val Leventina. 1877.

Evening, looking down the valley.

31. Oil Painting: Three sketches on one panel, scenes in the
