of the countries of the early inhabitants, the Troes and
Tramela?, the former, which was the kingdom of Pan-
darus, having Tlos and Pinara for its chief cities. The
ruins at the north-east end of the valley of Cassabar he
found to be those of the small Greek city of Arna ; those
near the coast at Kakava, the city of Cyanse. The city
of Caunus he had previously identified, on the straits
connecting the bay or lake of Koojez with the sea : this
is in Caria. The Rev. Mr. Daniell often came from the
ship, making my hut his home while visiting and sketch-
ing the neighbouring Lycian cities. He discovered two
inscriptions in the ruins at Horahn, which I suggested
might be found to be the ancient Massicytus, giving it
the name of Araxa. I had also visits from Mr. Edward
Forbes, the well-known naturalist, who had been for the
past year in Lycia, and Mr. Sanford, an English gentle-
man, whose residence at Rhodes had been prolonged for
nearly a twelvemonth, solely attracted by the kindness
and excellence of the Turkish character. He had been
studying the Turkish language and endeavouring to re-
pay the kindness of the people by suggesting improve-
ments in their agriculture, and introducing to them
potatoes and other seeds. He speaks highly of the lite-
rary and well-informed society of the leading people
among the Turks.
I shall avoid giving any description of the sculptures,
which ere long will be better judged of in the British
Museum, but I shall recapitulate their localities. On
