ment at the Admiralty. The object of my researches
did not fail to engage the interest of the author
of " Caramania," and, with that prompt zeal for
which he was so distinguished in the promotion
of scientific inquiry, Sir F. Beaufort instructed
Captain Graves, then surveying the adjacent
islands of the Archipelago, to take an early
opportunity of visiting Budrum, with a view of
ascertaining, if possible, the site of the Mausoleum.

In consequence of this instruction, a second
survey of Budrum was made by Captain, then
Lieutenant, T. Spratt, on a larger scale than the pre-
vious one, and with several important additions to
the topography. In a memoir published by Captain
Spratt, in the " Transactions of the Royal Society of
Literature,"111 in illustration of this survey, he gives
his reasons for placing the site of the Mausoleum
on a platform east of the position to which I had
assigned it in my memoir.

Shortly after the publication of Captain Spratt's
memoir, Budrum was visited by a distinguished
German traveller, Dr. Ludwig Ross, who, in the
fourth volume of his travels,11 reconsidered the ques-
tion of the topography, and differed both from
Captain Spratt and myself on the subject of the
site of the Mausoleum.

In April, 1855, I had the opportunity of visiting
Budrum myself, and it was then that I made the
remarkable discovery which induced Her Majesty's
Government to send out the expedition forming the
subject of this work.
