Last year was not remarkable for any sensational archaeological discovery in Greece, but much good work was done, and the amount that was accomplished by the Greek authorities in spite of the interruption of the Balkan War is very creditable to their zeal and enthusiasm. It is perhaps fitting to offer them the congratulations of all interested in Greek archaeology on the amount of new ground that is now available for scientific study.
In the minds of those who have known Athens in past years this season will perhaps be best remembered as the first after the definite retirement of Dr. Dörpfeld from his position as First Secretary of the Imperial German Institute in Athens. It is hard to estimate what his loss means not archaeologically only but also socially to Athens and to the students who go there, but happily through his work in Corfu his connexion with Greece is not yet severed.

8 In compiling this report, my warmest thanks are due to Sir Arthur Evans, to Dr. Wilberg, and to Dr. Pernier, who kindly sent me notes on their work, to the Greek Archaeological Society for allowing me access to early proofs of the Πρακτικά, and above all to Dr. Karo, who placed at my disposal all his material for his review of the year's work in the Archäologischer Anzeiger.
