manifestly correct, as in house (A), for instance, where a considerable number of rooms
on the ground floor are reached from without only through one main doorway. Some
of the residences are quite complex in plan and have many rooms, others are small
and have simple plans. Almost every residence has one or more large rooms with the
transverse arch and high ceiling, the smaller rooms are two or three storeys high.
Almost every house has its stable, or cattle-shed, on one side of its court. The numerous
gates were doubtless intended to facilitate the nightly homecoming of the cattle during
seasons when they could not be left in the pastures. It would be hardly worth while
to discuss all the different residences one by one; the groundplans shown in Ill. 304
speak for themselves. I have singled out only House (K) for a more detailed descrip.

unusually interesting plan (Ill. 306). This house appears in the photograph (Ill. 305)
at the extreme right. Its rear wall has collapsed, revealing the crown of the transverse
arch of the main room on the ground floor, the piers of the arch directly above it,
and the doorway opening to the north. On either side of these larger rooms may be
seen the corbel-and-slab construction of the two storeys of rooms adjoining. The details
of chief interest here are the two interior staircases which are approached by small
entrances at the ends of the front wall of the house, and meet at a landing before
the doorway of the main upper chamber. A large, irregularly shaped, room was added
to the main body of this house on the east. This room is spanned by a fine trans-
