The following account is compiled from various sources: in part from reports kindly supplied by the directors of various excavations, several of whom have generously sent me photographs as well, in part from Prof. Oikonomos' account of the work of the Greek Archaeological Society; I have been enabled to fill gaps through the great kindness of Prof. Karo, Director of the German School, who allowed me to use the proofs of his forthcoming article in the Archäologischer Anzeiger, which contains much detail which I have not attempted to incorporate here.

ATHENS AND ATTICA

The year has been marked by the completion of at least one highly important undertaking in Athens—the reconstruction of the northern colonnade of the Parthenon, which was finished, under the direction of M. Balanos, in the spring.

Prof. P. Kastriotis has continued his excavations in the Odeion of Pericles, where it has been established that the southern wall is a late restoration (dating from the time of Valerian or Justinian). No trace of the original south wall has been found; this fact and the bad state of preservation of the western wall make a satisfactory reconstruction of the plan impossible.
