London. which has just been laid bare. London

wall of defense built about the city in the fourth
or fifth century. have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets or houses.
These have rarely escaped demolition. The latest
discovery is. to be preserved for the benefit Of
the public.
1t is situated near Newgate street. close to a
new annex Of the general pOstofiice. The frag-
ment. which is that Of great curved bastiOn.
is 50 feet long. 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the sur
face of the ground. The whole is in wonderful
state of preservation.
The material is that known as "Kentish rag"

clearly the characteristic layers bands of red
