Sir Charles Fellows, an English traveller and archaeologist, born in Nottingham in 1799, died Nov. 8, 1860, He published a "Journal written during an Excursion in Asia Minor" (8vo, London, 1839), in which he gave descriptions of the superb architectural and sculptural remains of the cities of Xanthus and Tlos. The: interest excited by the work induced the gov-I eminent to apply to the Porte for a firman, authorizing the removal of specimens of the ancient works of art described by Mr. Fellows, who departed on a second tour through Lycia, in the course of which he discovered 13 other ruined cities, Having learned that the Porte declined to grant the firman, he returned to England, and published "An Account of Dis-coveries in Lycia, being a Journal kept during a Second Excursion in Asia Minor (8vo, 1841). i The government were at last successful in pro-i curing the desired firman, and a new expedition succeeded in transporting to England a number of cases of sculptures, which are now deposited in the Lycian Saloon" of | the British museum. Another expedition, also under the direction of Mr. Fellows, brought a number of additional marbles to England in 1844. For these services he received in 1845 the honor of knighthood.

His remain-ing publications are: Account of the Xan-thian Marbles in the British Museum" (1843), a pamphlet written to correct some misstate-ments; Account of the Trophy Monument i at Xanthus" (1848); and "Coins of Ancient Lycia" (1855).
