Papers of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (3.1884-1885)

NOTE.

The Managing Committee of the American School of Classical
Studies at Athens have decided to devote the second and third
volumes of their Papers to the publication of the important results
of Professor Sterrett's two journeys in Asia Minor made in the
summers of 1884 and 1885. Dr. Sterrett was a student at the School
during its first year, 1882-1883, and edited the inscriptions of Assos
and of Tralleis for the first volume of Papers. He was also in Athens
during the greater part of the second year, having kindly and gener-
ously abandoned his own work of exploration to assist Professor
Packard in the direction of the School. The noble gift of Miss
Wolfe, by which the expenses of the Wolfe Expedition were defrayed,
was transmitted through the agency of the Managing Committee. It
is, therefore, especially proper that the School should undertake the
publication of these two reports, with the large collections of in-
scriptions, mostly hitherto unpublished, which Dr. Sterrett has
copied on his journeys.

The Committee of Publication wish it to be distinctly understood,
that for obvious reasons, which they trust will commend themselves
to all, they have undertaken no editorial supervision of these volumes,
and that Dr. Sterrett is solely responsible for all that appears in them
under his name, as regards both the substance and the form.

The present volume, containing the report of the Wolfe Expedi-
tion, made in 1885, is published before its natural predecessor, which
