never been described, as far as I am aware ; but they have
been copied, and will shortly be published by the Archaeo-
logical Institute of Rome.

In a hill near the Poggio Gajella, called Poggio
Paccianesi, or del Vescovo, because it is episcopal property,
is a tomb with seven chambers, arranged like atrium and
triclinia, some of which bear traces of paintings; but little
is now to be distinguished beyond a pair of parti-coloured
lions in one of the pediments. As the tomb is often
flooded, these lions may be left unbearded by those who
have seen the other painted tombs. Here were found the
beautiful vases, now in the possession of the Bishop of
Chiusi.

The novel wonders of the Poggio Gajella demand a
separate chapter.
