ANTIQUITIES.

About three weeks ago, in the Island of Bonbi-
oils, South' Uist, Scotland, there .was fatind in a
bank of sand a htliTi2d skeleton, in a high state of
preservation i it Was in a.sitting pOstUre, holding in
its: right hand the lianqle of a sword. On digging
a little deeper,' there were discovered the fragments
Of an urn, with a. few piecesntsilVer coinage, bear-
ing a strong resemblance- to those of the Emperor
BTERUS. A feW remarkablecircuinStances attend-
ing this diScoVery are not unworthy of notice. Some
years ago the bank 'of sand, under which t hiS
t4celetOn•was found, Was So (hat it'served as a
bulwark to stop the raging billoWs of the %Atlantic ;.
but by tilts gradual encroaehment Of the sea, and-the
cOnst.n* drifting of the sand, which is -so iireValent
in the Hebrides, this tumulus was entirely removed;
when a bed of stones, nearly about the size of brickF;,
diagonally and longitudinally arranged, presented it-
self. This led some Gentlemen iii the island tq
cause This bed _to be carefully examined. Those
'who are acqrtainted with the 'qualities of pure sand,
unmixed with any particles of earth, for powerfully
resisting corrosion, will net dispute the "possibility of
this skeleidn being, the reaming of some distingnisheA
Roman Hero ;• but how it should happen to be in-:
terred, a 'quarter so remove, whither the Roman
Eagle never penetrated, according to common opi-
nion, is not so easily accounted for ; 'thonBh the be-
lief that the Romans never crossed the Grampian
hills is-considerably weakened by the'discotery of d
regular encampment, supposed to be R6tnan, now
visible in the distritt of Badenock, Inverness-shire.
