same time merged, together with the Archäologische Zeitung, in the new Jahrbuch. It is intended to appear yearly and to consist as a rule of twelve folio plates, with short explanatory text, in a portfolio. In the part before us the explanatory text is far too short. For example, the first two plates (exhibiting the newly-found Peisistratid temple of Athene on the Acropolis) depend on an article of 14 pages by Dörpfeld in the corresponding number of the Athenische Mittheilungen. The substance of this article should have been given with the plates: or at any rate, something more than a little note of thirty lines. These two plates are very satisfactory, including a detailed plan of the foundations in their present condition, a restoration of the front and some architectural members, and also a plan showing the position of this temple and of the Erechtheion and of the Parthenon of Cimon and the Parthenon of Pericles. Two other plates illustrate the later Parthenon by the reproduction of the drawings of the east and west fronts made before the explosion by Carrey and by the unknown artist employed by Nointel. Laborde's rendering of Carrey's drawings is slightly better than this; but his book is scarce, and he does not give the drawings made for Nointel; and the rendering of both sets by Michaelis is far inferior to that before us. Another plate represents in profile and in full face a marble head belonging to a copy of the Athene Parthenos, found in Rome and now in Berlin. It seems minutely accurate; and gives the goddess a far more youthful and mobile face than the other copies yet known. The plate is excellent; the surface of the marble and the remains of colour upon it being rendered in very delicate tints. Equally excellent in their way are the two plates of two of the bronze statues found in Rome the winter before last, the seated boxer and the standing portrait statue of a young man-the latter in two aspects, from left and right. The play of light and shade on the bronze is admirably rendered. But the coloured plate of a Roman fresco of trees and birds is less successful, looking somewhat stiff and heavy aud suggesting excessive restoration. these plates are well suited to such a publication : but it is not easy to see why two plates should be given up to two vases with the signature of Sosias. Both of them have been published before, one of them in the Monumenti themselves and if any further publication were necessary, it had better have been reserved for the Wiener Vorlegeblätter. Nor is it easy to see why two more of these large plates should be given up to fifty-four little votive tablets, which had better have been published two or three to the page in an ordinary volume. Not that they are uninteresting in themselves: they illustrate a style of painting otherwise known only from the black-figured vases: and their publication in any form is a matter for congratulation in this country inasmuch as, although such tablets were bought by the hundred for the Berlin Museum and the Louvre after their discovery at Corinth in 1879, not a single specimen was obtained for the British Museum. The same objection may be taken to the remaining plate, which contains twenty-nine pieces of jewelry nearly all found in Ithaca: though these certainly form a graceful group and are skilfully etched But although a praiseworthy desire to make this publication representative of the various branches of classical archaeology has brought about the inclusion of several unsuitable subjects, this does not seriously diminish its merit as a whole. And it would be well if it were better known in this country: for a perception of the excellence of these illustrations of pieces of sculpture in various aspects and in colour

All

might do something towards the suppression of the prevalent mania for plaster casts, which are in truth costly and cumbersome and destructive of all sense for beauty.-C. T.

Part 5. (i.) Compte Rendu of discoveries in Rome: specially notable are-an inscription recording that in the last century of the Republic the magistri and flamines restored one of the sacella compitalia on the Oppian hill-and a favissa found on the Esquiline: a deposit of exvotos in terra-cotta representing all parts of the human body, and probably dedicated to a healing deity. Gatti's conjecture that this deity was Minerva Medica is strengthened by the discovery of a terra-cotta head of Minerva, and a votive dedication to her, published by Visconti in (ii.): plate. He also describes a marble statue probably of the same deity, which has long lain unnoticed in a convent garden hard by. The same writer notes the discovery of a mosaic near Rome representing Pluto in the act of seizing Proserpine. Part 6. (i.) Com te Rendu continued: chiefly Roman inscriptions. (ii.) Visconti continues description of Esquiline find; terra-cotta statuettes of Greek style: assigns date broadly from last century of Republic to end of first century A.D.: double plate. Near the Porta Portese has been found a Græco-Roman marble basin, carved with a combat of Lapiths and Centaurs: and some late marble heads, including one of the Knidian Venus; near the piazza Cenci, part of a large marble relief representing a sacrificial scene; and a fragment with the figure of Psyche and near the Porta S. Lorenzo a fine marble sarcophagus with the vengeance of Medea, resembling the one in the Mantua Mnseum. Part 7 (i.) Gatti: front of a marble sarcophagus found near porta Maggiore, with relief of betrayal of Judas, about fourth century A.D. (ii.) Borsari: a slab of marble with rare treatment of a subject from the myth of Pentheus and the Maenads: plate. (iii.) Compte Rendu continued inter alia, a marble base with metrical Greek inscription dedicating a statuette of Herakles: an account of the tombs found by Sir S. Lumley in the Vigna Jacobini.-C. S.

PART 8. (I.) Visconti describes the find last month at the Via del Colosseo of two large fragments of a marble frieze 1.5 mètre high, which must have represented a large Gigantomachia. The one fragment, 1.24 mètre long, includes an Artemis (like the Versailles type, but winged), a draped female in a pensive attitude, (Gaia?), and part of a male figure, armed with a hammer: this attribute, and a pair of pincers at his feet mark him as Hephaistos. The other fragment, 1·24 mètre long, is more damaged : on it are part of a female (Hera?, as in the Pergamene frieze) hurling a spear or torch in violent movement, and another (whose face is the only one preserved) rushing with a torch resting against her arin, wings on her forehead, and winged endromides, apparently an Erinnys. The style appears to be that of the best Græco-Roman period, probably of Augustan age. Visconti suggests that the frieze may have formed part of the Templum Telluris dedicated originally A. U. C. 484, and probably rebuilt by Augustus : plate in phototype. (II.) Gatti, compte rendu : among sculptures, part of a sarcophagus, with a Genius leaning on a reversed torch; and a small military trophy of dresses and arms with an elephant's head in the middle, and over all a lionskin on which a nude

figure is seated. Notes by late Prof. Henzen on certain inscriptions from the Via Saluria referring to the functionaries of the Factio Prasina' of the Circus. Near Frascati a tomb has been found with a skeleton having around the neck a circlet of bronze inscribed thus: Tene me et reboca me Aproniano Palatino ad Mappa (m) Aurea (m) in Abentino quia fugi.' It had evidently belonged to a slave who had escaped and been recaptured. De Rossi compares it with a bulla found in 1884, which bore this inscription: Fugitibus so revoca me in Abentino in domu Potiti ne ad Decianas.'-C. S.
