^{page 3 note 1} Katavothra is the word used on the Greek mainland. The Cretans say χω'νοѕ funnel.

^{page 4 note 1} The local legend of the Tomb of Tsoúrli (τὸ μνη̑μα τυυ̑ Τσοὺρλη) is that Tsoúrli was a Turk who went by this path to a Christian village in Lasithi, and there insulted the women, notably by making them dance before him. On his return he was waylaid at this point by one of the men of the village and killed. His head was cut off and put into the saddlebag of his mule, which duly arrived at his home with the terrible burden, and his body was thrown into the cleft in the rock now known as the Tomb of Tsoúrli, and covered with a heap of stones. The place is regarded as ill-omened.

^{page 5 note 1} A very rare plant is found in abundance amongst the loose stones of these walls. This is Aristolochia microstoma which is found nowhere outside Crete, and even there cannot, I think, be at all common.

^{page 6 note 1} The only trace of this pattern, which consisted of slanting bands of three or four white stripes, is that on the parts originally painted white the underlying reddish-brown glaze-paint has been better preserved than elsewhere, so that in the present state of the vase the pattern consists of dark stripes on the ground of the clay. In the lacking parts of the vase the original state of the pattern has been restored in the drawing.

^{page 7 note 1} For this red v. B.S.A. xi, p. 288. A good example is the large vase from Gournia in Boyd-Hawes, Gournia, Pl. K. The best example of a L. M. I vase combining light-on-dark with dark-on-light is the vase from Zákro, in J.H.S. xxii, Pl. XII, 2.Google Scholar

^{page 11 note 1} These holes are shewn in the plan. Although the block itself appears very well in the middle of Pl. IV, d, the holes are so shallow as to be barely visible.

^{page 12 note 1} The photograph of Pl. IV, c, shews a block on the edge of the portico by the eastern anta which does not appear in the plan. It spoils the symmetry of the portico, and, as its position is clearly intentional, must belong to some later modification of the house.

^{page 12 note 2} The only fairly complete piece was the upper part of a pithos found in A 7.

^{page 13 note 1} The upper part of this valley with the peak of Aféndi Sarakinós on the right, form the background of the view in Pl. III, d.

^{page 14 note 1} Larnakes of this type have been often found in Cretan L. M. III tombs. The larnax cemetery found by the sea at Palaikastro, (B.S.A. x, pp. 227sqq.)Google Scholar shews that this chest type is contemporary with the commoner bath-shaped larnakes.

^{page 16 note 1} B.S.A. vi, pp. 101 sqq. and J.H.S. xxi, p. 142. It may be noted that, although the plastic ornament is so rarely found in the Middle Minoan pottery from sites to the east of Dikté, it would yet be expected in Middle Minoan from Lasithi, as the cultural connexions of this mountain district would be likely to be not so much with the east, but by the much easier pass over the hills which leads to the west by way of Lyttos.

^{page 16 note 2} This pottery is published in J.H.S. xxiii, pp. 248 sqq. The present writer remembers going over a number of baskets of sherds from Psykhró in the old Museum at Candia at about the time he was working at the Zákro pottery, and noticing the resemblance between them.
