    of beautiful plumage , " and that too " by one of the party not particularly distinguished as a sportsman , ' * they arrived at the ruins of Hierapolis , now called Pambouk Kaleri . The sarcophagi , of which there are great numbers , the theatre , the gymnasium , said by Col . Leake to he one of the only three gymnasia which are in a state of preservation sufficient to give any useful information on the subject of these buildings , are well described . So are

    the petrifying waters . Descending from these ruins , they passed into Laodicea , now called Eski Hissar , and sometimes , according to D'Anville , by a name more resembling its ancient appellation , Ladic . It is now nothing but a heap of ruins , and many of the most beautiful remains lie buried under ground , in consequence of frequent earthquakes . We have here a good account of Laodicea from Smith and Chandler , which Mr . Arundell has not enriched by any new information .

    Passing on towards Khonas , they came to a small clear stream , which suddenly disappeared , " or rather appeared to issue by a subterraneous * ' course , from under a low hill . " This our author was convinced must be the Lycus . At a village near this place they prescribed to a young woman in an advanced stage of dropsy , and did not forget to eat the duck which they had killed . The next morning they found their patient not worse for their prescription , a consolation not granted to every physician ; and this circumstance extended their practice .

    Some interruption which they experienced from the Aga , had almost induced them to think of leaving Khonas , and thus abandon one principal object of their journey , the search for the real site of Colossae ; but a present of a few piastres made every thing easy . They stayed and pursued their researches , found many vestiges of an ancient city , but not sufficient to satisfy them with respect to the site either of Colossse or the Lycus . Mr . Arundell , however , felt disposed to call Khonas the Cadmus of Strabo .

    With an intention of tracing the Meander to its source , the party travelled eastward along the toot of Mount Cadmus , passing by a lake called Hagee Ghioul , which Mr . Arundell felt assured could be no other than the lake Anava , mentioned by Herodotus , as lying between Colossae and Celaense . From this he concluded that they should find Aparaeia at Deenare , and pursuing his journey over a plain of desolate appearance , which reminded him of Salisbury Plain , they arrived at Deenare , which they at first decided

    to be the site of the ancient Apameia , situated at the confluence of the Marsyas and the Meander , and not far from the sources of the latter . But , alas the uncertainty of all human conclusions ! going to a house where there were several inscriptions , the very first he saw convinced him that D'Anville , Pococke , Chandler , &c . &c , had been all mistaken ; and that , instead

    of Apameia , this was the site of Apollonia . Second thouglils in this case did not appear to answer to the old proverb . Col . Leake has shewn that the inscription warranted no such conclusion , and Mr . Arundell afterwards acknowledges that he was mistaken . Col . Leake ' s observations seem to fix the site of Apameia at Deenare , on the summit of a mountain , near the sources of the Marsyas and the Meander .

    Arriving at Isbarta , our author again gave way to hasty impressions , and concluded ( we can hardly see on what grounds ) , that Isbarta was the ancient Antioch of Pisidia ; but as his conjecture apparently rested solely on the supposed identity of Apollonia with Deenare , it must fall to the ground . His Frank dress and his hat had gained him the character of physician , but from necessity he was compelled to confine his prescriptions to leeches and
