Moan ROMAN RELICS.
Since a note was written in this place on excavations of Roman glass and pottery in Hertfordshire and Huntingdonshire, further discoveries have been made, the latest within a few yards of the Great North Road. This newest find is additional to the rich mine unearthed eighteen months ago, close to both the North Road and the. Icknield way. From this site twenty-three remarkable Roman burial groups have been already recovered. Along with the urns and pottery and glass, discovered in his garden by Mr. Guy Kiiidersley, they are in the museum of Letchworth Garden City. Taken in con- junction with investigation about to be intensified near York, they may throw new light on the Roman occupation of Britain and perhaps on the relations of conquerors and conquered. The directors of the museum, the well-known naturalist, Mr. Percival Westell, writes, " I have several sites which are simply waiting to be opened up as soon as ways and means are available. . . . The only obstacle in the way of more extensive excavations is lack of funds," \Y. BEACH. THOMAS.
