INTERESTING REMAINS FOUND.
[Press Association —Copyright..] (.Received August a.m.) PARIS. Sunday. The bodies of Richard Conor de Lion. Henry 11.. and other Phuitagenets have been found in the Abbey of Foii.terrault, in Normandy. (History states that Richard I. and Henry 11. were both buried at Fontorrault, or Fonterraud, and their tombs, together with those of the queens of Henry 11. and John, have not hitherto been disturbed. Each tomb is surmounted by a monument and effigy, but there appears to have been some doubt a,s to whether these marked the actual resting-pkiees or they were merely cynotaplis. It may be mentioned that Richard's heart was not buried with his body, but separately at Rouen.)
