remaining being bare from the thigh downwards; the foot and the head are gone.  The figure on the right is fully draped, the head is lost, and the right hand much mutilated; a musical instrument, like a guitar,[24] or rather a mandolin, rests against the left breast, held in position by the left hand.  The fourth fragment has the honeysuckle on both sides, with the flower well carved on one of them.  It is a great pity that so little of this superb work is left, and that what there is should be so mutilated.[25]

This account of the Great Bath will, I hope, be sufficiently complete if I describe the entrances and conclude with a few particulars of the pavement (although many discoveries of considerable interest might be made, I have no doubt, in the latter), omitting a detailed examination as being tedious.

I believe there were five entrances to this bath, two of which remain.  In the western wall, on the south, is one leading from other apartments (a hypocaust, hall and bath), which I shall on a future occasion describe.  It is 4ft. 3in. wide.  Double doors and hinges have been inserted in this doorway, and the base and a portion of a pilaster cut away most barbarously to receive them.  On the north, on the same wall, and fronting the northern schola, is a doorway similar to the last, which has been walled up in Roman times, the wall which closed it being covered with the red plaster that covers all the work not being faced freestone.  A third doorway, similar in every respect, was at the eastern end of the northern schola, as I infer from the lower paving being much worn in that direction.  A fourth doorway was in the eastern wall to the south, but not south enough to face the southern schola, and a fifth was between these two.  Of these three doorways, the first of them is still hidden by soil, and the second and third are obliterated with modern walling; a portion of the architrave of one was found near, but their position is well marked by the footmarks in the stone.

I should not omit mentioning the mark of a wooden seat in the northern rectangular recess, and the place of a wooden rail for clothes, that was let into the pilaster at one end with the slot in a pilaster at the other.

In my plan (Pl.  VIII.) I have endeavoured to show the massive lower paving and the fragmentary upper pavement.  Both are much worn; and, where the upper pavement has disappeared against the upper step of the bath, especially the step on the western schola, it has been worn down on the inside to the depth of several inches.  The lower pavement through the south-western door is worn in holes, and
