1 For assistance in the preparation of this Report and for the supply of information and photographs I am deeply indebted to the following: Drs A. De Franciscis, W. Johannowski (Naples), Mario Napoli, V. Panebianco, E. Greco, Bruno and Gabriella D'Agostino (Salerno), Ross Holloway (Buccino), D. Adamesteanu (Basilicata), F. G. Lo Porto, Elena Lattanzi (Taranto), R. Pulinas Stazio, G. Andreassi (Bari), G. Foti, Paola Zancani-Montuoro (Calabria), V. Tusa (Palermo), B. S. J. Isserlin (Motya), Elda Joly (Himera), E. De Miro (Agrigento), L. Bernabò Brea, Paola Pelagatti, G. Voza (Syracuse), Madeleine Cavalier (Lipari). My grateful thanks are also due to Mme de La Genière and Miss Joan Du Plat Taylor who generously provided me with accounts of their excavations in South Italy, to M. J-P. Morel, secretary of the French School in Rome, for details of the excavations carried out under its auspices, and to Mr John Wade, who accompanied me on my travels and took several of the photographs here reproduced. It is a source of great regret to me no longer to be able to acknowledge my debt to Professor Van Buren's ‘News Letters from Rome’ his death in 1968 has taken from us one of the most distinguished scholars in South Italian and Roman archaeology.

2 Two important articles on Apulian vase-painting may here be mentioned: ‘Vasi apuli di stile ornato del Pittore di Licurgo ed a lui prossimi’, by Chiesa, Gemma Sena in Acme xxi (1968)Google Scholar, in which several volute-kraters in the Torno collection in Milan (ex Caputi coll., Ruvo) are published and discussed; ‘Addenda to APS’, by Cambitoglou, Alexander and Trendall, A. D. in AJA lxxiii (1969) 423–33CrossRefGoogle Scholar, which brings the original publication up to date with lists of new attributions and corrigenda.

3 The 7th Congress (1967) was devoted to the ‘City and its territory’, the 8th (1968) to ‘Magna Graecia and Rome in the archaic period’, the 9th (1969) to ‘Magna Graecia in the Hellenistic world’. Vol. V of the Atti (‘Filosofia e Scienze in Magna Grecia’) was published in 1969 and is due to be followed shortly by vol. VI on ‘art and literature’. Summaries of the Congress appear from year to year in Klearchos.
