PREFATORY NOTE
THIS work in its original shape formed the subject
of a communication to the Hellenic Society at their
General Meeting on November g, 1926. Its publication
was, however, somewhat postponed in order to enable refer-
ence to be made to my Second Volume of the Palace of Minos,
published by Messrs. Macmillan in 1928. I also thus had
a better opportunity of profiting by Dr. G. Karo's article
' Die Schachtgraber von Mykenai' (Ath. Mitth., xl, 1915 :
Athens, 1927), proofs relating to part of which he had, indeed,
with singular liberality, considering the circumstances of the
time, allowed me to see in 1915.
Owing, however, to the narrow format of the Hel-
lenic Journal, which made it impossible to transfer directly
certain illustrative material from the Palace of Minos and other
sources, it was found advisable to issue the work in a separate
form. This will also be reproduced as a Supplementary
Section at the end of Volume III of the ' Palace ' book.
