DIVISION II, SECTION A, PART 2.
When Part 2 of Section A was being printed, it was not known that a second
Princeton Expedition would be sent to Southern Syria within the year; but, as soon
as it was known that an opportunity offered for the collection of more material in
that region, the publication of Part 2 was held back to await the results of the expe-
dition of 1909. The material gathered in Southern Syria by this second Princeton
Expedition was chiefly epigraphical, and, since Part 2 of Division III has not been printed,
the publication of this material will appear in its proper place in the regular pages of that
Part. But the fact that Part 2 of Division II has been printed makes it necessary that
the architectural notes, taken in the Southern Hauran on this most recent expedition,
shall appear in the form of an appendix. The few notes published herewith on the
ruins at cAr&k il-Emir would belong logically to Part 1, but, since that fascicule has
already been issued, I shall add them here. The important new data appended to this
Part are those collected at Koser il-Hallabat and Hammam is-Sarakh, two sites where
the work of the expedition of 1904—1905 was interrupted by snow. Nothing new in
the domain of architecture was found at any other of the places in the Southern Hauran
that were visited in 1909.
CARAK IL-EMIR.
As one would naturally expect, the passing of five years had wrought no change
in the great ruins of the Kasr il-cAbd and the other ruined structures above the Wadi
Sir. Once more I explored the remains of interior walls that still exist at the southern
end of the great building, this time with witnesses other than my companions of the
earlier expedition; and I was even more convinced of the truth of my belief that these
interior walls had nothing whatever to do with the original structure. 1 The interior
cross wall at the south end is 3.30 m. from the main south wall, and was crudely and
loosely constructed : the wall that forms an angle with it at the southeast is of equally
poor workmanship, and is not parallel with the main east wall of the building, fl he
