52 MYCEN^ TO NAUPLIA.

It would be interesting to examine the spot. At 48 minutes pass
four heaps right, another on the left, surrounded with stones.

, At 55 minutes cross the bed of the rivulet, a circular mount left.
In one hour pass a little castle, on an insulated hill. A cave near it.
At one hour six minutes a chapel, dedicated to St. George, shaded by

temple with niches. On the left a Roman bath of considerable
size.. Above this some ruined chapels on the rocks.

About a mile and half to the left is the little village of Barbitza,
above which is a cave in the mountains.

From the Roman ruin proceeding toward Tiryns along the valley of
Barbitza, in five minutes see a heap of stone left. In 15 minutes
enter the bed of the stream, which is here confined in a narrow rocky
glen. In 32 minutes the glen ceases, and the road opens upon the
plain of Argos. The pass itself is called Klissura, a term often ap-
