II.— The Astrolabe of Queen Elizabeth
During the past summer a number of parts of ancient English astronomical instruments were found in the University Observatory at Oxford, during the refitting of certain rooms for the new programme of work of Professor Plaskett, the Savilian Professor of Astronomy. Professor Plaskett was kind enough to draw my attention to the find, and, on my expressing the opinion that it was of historic value, was gracious enough to present the instruments to t…

IV.— The Uranical Astrolabe and other Inventions of John Blagrave of Reading
The Object of the present communication is to bring together again three closely related items of antiquarian interest, which have got separated, and thus to recombine the parts of a long-forgotten scientific instrument of the Elizabethan Age, the invention of John Blagrave of Reading. Were any one of these three cluesto be lost, it would be impossible to reconstruct his Uranical Astrolabe
Humphrey Cole, Instrument Maker
XII.— The Great Astrolabe and other Scientific Instruments of Humphrey Cole
The recent discovery of the finest known example of an English Astrolabe of the largest size, signed by the Elizabethan maker, Humphrey Cole of London, has afforded an opportunity of gathering together some notes on all instruments now known to have been made by him, and of setting forth the chief biographical details of his life. The result shows that he must be regarded as the leading English scientific instrument maker of his century

VI.— A Mural Glass Mosaic from the Imperial Roman Villa near Naples
The mosaic was fixed in a small niche in a wall of the buildings of the Imperial Villa on Posilipo, near Naples. One part of the site, now submerged beneath the sea in consequence of a post-Roman land movement, has already been described, but later surveys of the very extensive antiquities and ruins on the hill above still await publication. Among other discoveries, we have been able to find evidence that this fine property, stated to have been l…

XXII.— The Submerged Greek and Roman Foreshore near Naples
‘Soleo eniin et in aliena castra transire, non tamquam transfuga, sed tamquam explorator.’ Seneca, Epistul. Mor. I., Ep. II. Some years ago it occurred to the author that certain submerged ruins in the Bay of Naples were sufficiently well preserved to repay investigation with a view to supplementing the history of the post-Roman land-movements, as recorded upon the columns of the Macellum of Puteoli, commonly known as the “Temple of Serapis.”

The Phlegraean Fields
THE fired rocks and hills of volcanic origin stand in so striking a contrast to those of aqueous origin, that they have exercised a very powerful influence on the thoughts of man in all ages. Frequently associated with such formations are the phenomena which we are accustomed to refer to as volcanic—“burning mountains,” boiling springs, gaseous exhalations, terrifying noises—all shrouded with a mystery which demands explanation. Even in a localit…
