On the east side of the valley of Jehoshaphat * Robinson's J5ib. Hes. Ii. 10. REMARKABLE TOMBS. 1/1 arc four remarkable tombs, hewn out of the solid rock, to which are now given the names of Jehoshaphat, Absalom, St. James, and Zecharias. In the earlier notices of these, different names are assigned to them ; so that all that is said about them is mere conjecture. A thought struck me in regard to them, which I merely throw out as a possibility, without pretending to assert its correctness. Thes...e tombs are held in high estimation by the Jews; they visit them and pray beside them. I met many Jews at the tomb of Zecharias, some of whom were inscribing their names upon it. They, in common with the Christians, call this the tomb of Zechariah, the son of Barachiah. I regret that I omited to ask them by what name they call the one allotted by the Chris- tians to St. James. The style of architecture, being mingled Grecian and Egyptian, shows them to be comparatively modern. " If they existed prior to the destruction of Jerusalem, " says Robinson, " they are probably to be re- ferred to the times of the Herods.
