When a work begun by one hand is continued by another, an explanation or
apology seems to be required. I trust however that in the present case some
degree of continuity may be found in the reports of the excavations we have
conducted at Naukratis for the Egypt Exploration Fund. For I was by Mr.
Petrie's kindness enabled to study the yet unpublished results of his first season's
exploration, and to have my conclusions incorporated in his report; and the

plates signed with his initials and the description of the articles contained therein.

Mr. Griffith also was with us for a short time at Naukratis. The results of
his special work will be found in the Appendix of this volume, and in the plate
which he has drawn (XXIY.). For another plate (XXIII.) Ave are indebted to
the kindness of Mme. Naville.

In preparing the plans of the temples, I have met with the greatest assist-
ance from Professor Middleton, by whose advice I have given them theform in
which they now are seen. The general plan (PL IV.) is reduced from one made

The photographic plates have been executed under my supervision by Mr.
Griggs ; as they are collotyped directly from photographs of the originals, their
accuracy may be relied upon.

I have in the narrative of our season's work referred to the help and kind-
