By the kindness of the Editor of the Annual I am allowed to append to Dr. Schäfer's paper a brief note on two monuments representing likna which came to my knowledge too late for publication in my last article in the Hellenic Journal on the Mystica Vannus lacchi.
Dr. Schäfer's paper is naturally to me of great interestand importance. Egypt has yielded what would have been vainly sought for in Greece, namely an actual ancient liknon of precisely the shape so far evidenced only by representations in ancient art and by modern specimens. Mr. Bosanquet wrote to me last year from Berlin to tell me of the existence of such a liknon; and its publication by Dr. Schäfer in Fig. 15 of his paper makes further comment unnecessary.
page 144 note 1 My attention was drawn to both monuments by Mr. Alan Wace of the British School at Rome, and he kindly obtained for me the photograph of the Lateran Herm (Fig. 3) and the detailed drawing of the liknon (Fig. 4).
page 144 note 2 J.H.S. xxiii, p. 305, and xxiv. p. 241.
page 144 note 3 Published by his generous permission.
