Plastic vases:
PI. 42, 1: lion-bird (see pp. 90-1).
PI. 42, 5: hare (cf. p. 177).
The majority of terra-cottas from Selinus are, of
course, local, but the following are, I feel certain,
Corinthian:
PI. 41,1-1 a: head of very fine yellow clay. The style
recalls no single example among the series of
heads on Corinthian vases, but bears a very strong
general resemblance of character to many; cf. the
head in Berlin mentioned on p. 176, and heads
like pi. 48, 12, 15. It is true, as Gabrici says (p.
220) that there is a resemblance to the style of the
[DIX I
curious pelike in Berlin (3984, Miiller, Polos, pi.
4), but this is certainly not Corinthian, and it is
quite different in technique from the Selinus head
(red clay and slip),
p. 239, fig. 121: fragments of a large figure of a
woman, painted, like the last, in vase-technique.
The animals on the skirt are obviously Corinthian
in style, and point to a date in the second quarter
of the sixth century.1 The form of the buds is,
of course, characteristic of Corinth at this period
(cf. fig. 64); for the scheme (buds alternately
reversed without palmettes), cf. fig. 65 a, and for
the light pattern on a darker ground no. 1450, and
various other vases (e.g. nos. 39, 1461-2).

I shall do no more than mention a selection of the vases and fragments in the Boston collection; the pieces
omitted are, so far as I can tell, of no great importance, but the illustrations, particularly of the fragments,
are sometimes such that it is impossible to form a clear idea of the nature of the object portrayed. In some
cases (e.g. pi. 37, 334; 344.3; 343; 335, &c.; cf. also pi. 32, 302,13; 309; 310.2; 312.1, &c.) a good micro-
scope might be useful.
Fragments from Naukratis.
PI. 37, 340: fragment of a bowl of the early Transi-
tional period. This very interesting fragment is
the earliest piece of pottery imported from the
Greek mainland to Naukratis:2 it necessitates a
revision of the suggestion made on p. 25 as to the
time when relations between Corinth and the
mainland were established. I hope to republish it
in the Annual of the British School in the near
future.
PI. 37, 341. 1-4: fragments of Corinthian column-
craters; 341. 2 apparently from a good vase.
PI. 37, 346. 6: Attic, apparently early in the sixth
century.
PI. 38, 347. 3 and 5: Attic; the last belongs to the
comast group.
PI. 38, 344: Attic, about the end of the first quarter
of the sixth century (not Laconian); 350. 3, at
least, is also Attic.
PI. 38, 353. 3: Attic, of the Deianira group; cf.
p. 191 and J.H.S. 1929.
PI. 42, 401: late Protocorinthian (no. 14).
PI. 42,402: I should not like to say what this vase is,
but it is not likely to be Protocorinthian. The
Italian vases on this plate ('Linear Corinthian

ornament in the top row occurs on a Corinthian ary-
ballos (no. 531), and this is an almost exact parallel. The
style of the animals and filling ornaments needs no com-
ment.

419 is Laconian; 415, uncertain.

not Italian, are 420-2, 425-6, 429-30, 436.
PI. 44: Corinthian: 439-42 (with the first two cf.
cat. nos. 1331-2 and 1506-7 (all later, probably);
with the last, no. 672); 448, 449 (no. 89), 450 (cf.

PI. 46, 475, no. 951; 477-8, cf. no. 973; 479, no.
998.
PI. 47: Corinthian, nos. 482-3 (also 484?); with
482, cf. no. 895 and ff.; with 483, cf. no. 871
andff.
PI. 48: Corinthian, no. 496; 493 is Attic (Polos style:
see p. 190); 494-5, Etruscan (494 is our fig. 93).
PI. 49, 497: fragment of early Corinthian column-
crater. I hope to republish this fragment shortly.
PI. 49, 503: cf. p. 180.
PI. 51, 508: cf. p. 176.

is not part of the gift of the Egypt Exploration Society
to the Museum : it was given many years later by a
private donor, and its exact provenance on the site is
queried in the text.
