This singular covering for the foot reaches no higher than
the ancle, and is laced up the front with a leathern thong, like a modern
highlow, to which it bears a very decided resemblance.
6. "_A skeleton of some unknown animal._" Antiquarians cannot agree to
what genus this animal belonged; ignorant people imagine it to have been a
cat.
7. "_A piece of broken porcelain._" This is an undoubted relic of Roman
manufacture, and appears to have formed part of a plate. The blue "willow
pattern" painted on it shows the antiquity of that popular design.
There are several other extremely rare and curious antiquities to be seen
in this collection, which we have not space to notice at present, but
shall take an early opportunity of returning to the valuable discoveries
made by the indefatigable Mr. Bunks.

to be the first, as usual, to lay the outlines of it before our readers,
with the same early authenticity that has characterised all our other
communications.
