page note 25 1 It is only fair to say that the excavations recently conducted in Cyprus on behalf of the German Institute by Hett Duemmler, of which a valuable account is given in the Mittheilungen xi. pp. 209–262, are a signal exception to this rule. Herr Richter too, in his various speculative operations has often contrived to harmonize the interests ot science with those of his numerous employers.
page note 26 1 See Klein, Vasen mit Meistersigiiaturen, new ed. 1887, p. 49. On p 222 ibid, he gives a description of this alabastron under the name Iasiades. This does not sound a very likely name, and there seem besides to be actual traces of the F on the vase : unfortunately a fracture in the clay occurs just at this doubtful spot.
page note 27 1 In Mittheil. xi. p. 36, Duemmler refers to marble idols in the British Museum found at Naukratis and similar to those from Amorgos and other præ-Greek sites; but no such objects, nor indeed anything of so early a date, were found there.
