little temple adjoining, built of brick, The baths
are situated upon the left bank of the bed of a little
river, now nearly dried up, or dwindled down to a
brook, and which has all the appearance at its

the northward of Capo St. Anastasio, but its mouth

parts of the building which had fallen in : the stream
that runs by it, once probably possessed medicinal
properties : the baths were built at the side of the
glen through which it runs, for the purpose of using
the waters. St. Anastasio, however, now monopo-
lizes the whole. At a short distance from the bath
is a very large old quarry of tufa, whence the stone
was taken for the temple and other parts of the
ancient city. The ruins of the stone temple are
situated at a place called St. Georgio, close to the
beach ; it appears to have been of the same kind as

at the southern extremity of either island, is as
nearly as possible similar. Might this have been
