NOTES FROM BAURATH C. SCHICK.

and built up new, A remarkable ancient wall was found running east and west in the centre of the church. It is of large stones, of which some are drafted. The thickness of this wall could not exactly be ascertained, as on its southern side the facing stones no longer exist. The wall is not founded on the rock, but at a depth of about 18 feet rests on earth and débris. It has been thought, Herr von Schick says, that it might have once belonged to the "second wall." He will watch and report if any further discoveries are made in connection with it.
Winged Figure from Palestine.
In the Quarterly Statement for 1893, p. 296, Herr von Schick described, among other antiquities in Baron Ustinoff's collection, a red stone with a
sculptured winged figure from jaffa.
