The third has also a quadrangular body, but with two- six-spoked and higher Avheels, and contains a man and woman who seem to be culprits, each being bound about the neck and wrists Avith cords held by persons walking at their sides. The fourth has remarkably low^ wheels, and its combat- ant has one foot on the ground. The fifth has its horses restrained by both hands of the di'iver, who is apparently a female, and also by one hand of her male companion. The sixth is a racing chariot, with wheels of eight spokes, in the act of arriving at the metce of a circus. The seventh, another racing chariot, has its driver sw^athed about his chest and legs with thick, wide bandages, as if for protecting him from injury in case of being overturned. In conclusion, I may remark that most of the racing cars thus represented in the Campana collection are very low, and have wheels of only four spokes, and that the horses are all hog-maned and of slender make.

It was written during his last continental tour, not long previously to his decease ; and it was included among the memoira brought before the Section of Early and Medieval Aiititiuities, at the Oxford Meeting. Towards the close of that meeting the intelligence reached the Institute, that the zealous researches of one of their earliest friends and coadjutors had been brought to a close by his untimely death in a distant country.
