graphs of statues and reliefs in marble or stone were supplied by
Mr A. H. Smith of the British Museum, Mr S. C. Cockerell of the
Fitzwilliam Museum, Mr L. D. Caskey of the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts, and the Director of the Musee Lapidaire at Lyons.
Mr W. H. Buckler with great generosity allowed me to publish a
new and very interesting stele of Zeus Sabdzios, since presented by
him to our national collection. Miss J. E. Harrison, on quitting
Cambridge for Paris, put at my disposal her whole assemblage of
photographs representing Greek votive reliefs and other religious
monuments. Mr A. Munro, Fellow and Lecturer of Queens' College,
photographed for me an unpublished relief on the Palatine. Mr R. B.

to furnish me with three excellent photographs of the Delphic
omphalos, here figured for the first time on English soil. And the
Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies supplied me with a
photograph of the cistern-mosaic on Mt Kynthos.

Photographs of bronzes were kindly provided by Prof. P. N. Ure
of University College, Reading, Mr K. Kourouniotes of the National
Museum, Athens, and Miss G. M. A. Richter of the Metropolitan

photographer to the University Press.

Photographs of vases etc. in the British Museum were taken by
Mr C. O. VVaterhouse and Mr R. B. Fleming, in the Louvre by

Permission to reproduce various photographs, plates, or figures

and Co. of Munich, Kouchakji Freres of New York, and by Prof. C.
Blinkenberg of Copenhagen, Sir A. J. Evans, Sir W. M. Ramsay,
Mr C. Torr, Mr H. B. Walters.
