Former discovery in this field of a torso. Extensive foundations
laid bare by our excavations. Tessellated pavements. Upper
Level. Boom A.—Subjects of the mosaics. Sunk square in the

and general plan of the building. Architectural remains. Torso
of winged female figure. Antiquities found in well. Structure
of tessellated pavement. The building which anciently stood on
this site probably a villa.
It remains now that I should notice other minor
excavations, carried on in the course of the expedi-
tion at Budrurn.
On the 10th of December, 1856, we commenced
an excavation in a field at a short distance to the
west of the Mausoleum, called, from the name of
its Turkish proprietor, the field of Hadji Captan.
(Plate I.) I Avas induced to examine this field from
having ascertained that the torso of a draped female
figure, obtained at Budrum on the removal of the
friezes from the Castle in 1844, had been found here."
a This torso is now in the British Museum, and has been en-
graved by Mr. Falkener, in his "Memoir on the Mausoleum," in
the Museum of Classical Antiquities, i. p. 186. It appears to be
of the Roman period.
