the room _u_. In this hypocaust were found the remains of two skeletons, one of which was that of a young person. The northern wall of the room _v_ is particularly interesting, because in its whole height of full nine feet, it presents the remains of the lines of flue-tiles which ran up it, hardly an inch apart, and which show that this room must have been intended to be very much heated. It was, perhaps, a _sudatorium_ or sweating room. The opening from _u_ to _v_ occupies nearly the whole width of the former room, and was perhaps closed by a wooden door. On the western side of the hypocaust, at _w_, the wall has a sort of basement, formed of large stones scooped out in a singular manner, the object of which is by no means evident. We here come upon a series of passages, _x_, to the north of which were four rooms, _z z z z_, extending to the Old Wall. On the face of the Old Wall, we can distinctly trace the springing not only of the walls of division, the lower parts of which are found underground, but of the vaulting, from which it appears that these rooms had what are technically called barrel-roofs of masonry. They were slightly explored at the beginning of the excavations, and in one of them was found a quantity of burnt wheat, as though it had been a store-room. In the passages alluded to, there is at _y_, a square pit, somewhat like what might be a cess-pool, of very good and substantial masonry, at the bottom of which runs north and south a very well formed drain, the bed of which is formed of large roof-tiles. To the south of this is a hypocaust, A, which differs from the other hypocausts yet opened in being partly formed of low parallel walls instead of rows of pillars. On the wall of the passage leading to this hypocaust from the east was found the inscription mentioned at page 45. Westward from the hypocaust A, but without any apparent communication between them, was another hypocaust, B, which had been constructed in the usual manner, the floor supported by rows of low columns formed of square thin bricks. It was in this hypocaust that the three skeletons mentioned before (_p._ 41,) were found, the man who possessed the money crouching in the north-west corner, and the two persons supposed to be women, extended along the side of the northern wall. The opening into this hypocaust was through its southern wall, from the interior court, so that the fugitives must have crept along the whole length of the hypocaust to reach their place of concealment. The part of this interior court, immediately adjacent to this hypocaust, which has been excavated to some extent, presents several interesting features. A breach in the eastern boundary wall had been newly repaired with much inferior masonry at the time when the city of Uriconium was taken and destroyed; and it is a curious circumstance that some large pieces of stone lie here on the floor of the court, unfinished
