artist's name was not hitherto known; he must have lived nearly contemporary with the great painter Polygnotos, and his style is a charming combination of archaic freshness with refined skill. If this restoration of his name, which seems justified by the traces of the letters, is correct, it is worthy of remark that an Athenian vase published in Benndorf, Gr. und sicil. Vasen, taf. v. 5, gives us a painter's name Paseias, who may very likely have been one of the same family.1

The third object from this find is a lekythos of great beauty decorated with red figures with white and gilt accessories on a fine black glaze; it belongs to a series of which the best, including this example, would belong to the first half of the fourth century,

B.C.

But the chief interest is in the design, which represents Oidipous slaying the Sphinx with a spear, in the presence of Athenè and other figures; a treatment of the myth which Greek literature had given us reason to expect, but of which this is the first representation in art that has yet come down to us. The figure of Athenè has a special interest here, in that it reproduces the exact type (only excepting the Nikè in the hand) of the chryselephantine statue of Pheidias; and to heighten the resemblance, the helmet, aegis, shield, spear, and bracelets have been gilt, while the entire figure and drapery are painted white. A seated figure of Apollo balances that of Athenè, and the remaining space is filled with the figures of Kastor and Polydeukes on one side and of Aineias on the other, all the figures being identified by their names inscribed beside them.

A brief description such as this cannot of course give anything like an adequate idea of the merit of these gems of art, any one of which ought to be sufficient to stimulate public enterprise towards a satisfactory and thorough excavation of this promising site.

Our pecuniary incapacity represents the dark side of the present condition of British archaeology; but fortunately we may congratulate ourselves that the outlook is not all gloomy. The tendency is certainly growing among us to place classical archaeology in its true position of importance wherever an interest is felt in classical literature and the art of all periods. There

1 See Klein, Vasen mit Meistersignaturen, 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 on the vase: unfortunately a fracture in the clay occurs just at this doubtful spot.

are not wanting plenty of signs which point to a distinctly hopeful future. The new school at Athens, which has at length raised Britain to the same footing there with France, Germany, and America, and which is now commencing its work, will give impetus and encouragement to British enterprise. From the days of Dodwell and Leake down to the present times of Bent and Paton, whose patriotic generosity is so handsomely evidenced in the accompanying list of acquisitions, this quality has never been wanting in Englishmen, but the present movement will supply, it is thought, facilities which could never be obtained by private individuals, and will minimise the trouble and friction often entailed in desultory undertakings. The Classical Review will, it is hoped, furnish an opportunity for recording the notes and news of British students at Athens, for which its monthly issue is well adapted.

Coming now nearer home, we shall find the prospect equally encouraging. Archaeology is not only occupying a recognised position in the curriculum of our universities, but is being largely taken up in the most important of our public schools. have already the nucleus of a representative museum, others are contemplating the formation of one; and Mr. Upcott's little handbook of Greek sculpture, which we hope to notice in our next number, is a proof that the interest, at Marlborough at any rate, is not wholly that of curiosity.

This is all as it should be; perhaps when English scholarship shall finally have removed from itself the reproach of dilettantism, we may hope for its obtaining a more practical recognition from the State than has been its fortune hitherto.

ACQUISITIONS TO BRITISH MUSEUM, 1886.

NAUKRATIS COLLECTION.-A series from the antiquities excavated by Mr. Flinders Petrie during the winter of 1884-5 at Tell Nebireh, the site of the ancient Naukratis, and published in Naukratis, pt. i. 1884-5. Third Memoir of the Egypt Exploration Fund.

Architecture.

1. Limestone fragments from the archaic temple of Apollo, including part of what appears to be the necking of a column ornamented with a lotus pattern in low relief; parts of bead and reel and egg and tongue mouldings, with remains of colour; part of base of a column; part of drum of a column, diam. 1 ft. 6 in. with 25 shallow flutings; Naukratis, pt. iii.

2. Marble fragments from the second temple of Apollo, including bead and reel and anthemion patterns, with remains of red and blue colour: ibid. pls. xiv. xiv.a.

6. Limestone slab, with ten lines of elegiac inscription of sepulchral import and late period; ibid. pl. xxxi. 11.

Fictile Vases.

A series of fragments of pottery representing almost every stage of Greek vase-painting.

7. Among the archaic specimens are many engraved with dedications to Apollo, beside whose temple they were found, such as Φάνης με ἀνέθηκε τὠπόλλων[ι τῷ Mi]Anole & гλaúvo, on the rim of a large krater; this may refer to the Phanes whose story is narrated by Herodotus iii. 4; ibid. pl. xxxiii. 218.

Among the vases with designs, the following may be noted:

8. A series of fragments of a ware hitherto unknown, painted in brown or orange on a creamy-white ground; ibid. pl. v.

17. Gold and silver figures and ornaments; ibid. pls. xxvii.-xxviii.

ANTIQUITIES obtained by Mr. and Mrs. J. Theodore

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 carly a date, were found there.

A series of objects excavated by Mr. and Mrs. Bent at Bourgounte (ancient Brykountios) on the extreme north of Karpathos; mostly from rock-cut tombs used by successive generations.

2. Large drab lebes, with two vertical and two horizontal handles, containing (3) a mastos of late greyish glaze, studded with oblique bands of pyramidal projections.

.4 and 5. Two large rooftiles (imbrices) of a form new to me, viz. a nearly complete cylinder, which thins gradually to one end, where it terminates in a circular knob, from which again projects a spout. Drab with black decorations of ivy tendrils, rude birds, and florid palmette; probably, like a similar class of ware at Rhodes (Furtwaengler in Jahrbuch, 1886, p. 152), a late local imitation of a more archaic style. Both found in same tomb.

6. Similar in style to the preceding is an amphora with upright handles and a cover (lost), decorated round the body and neck with an ivy wreath; found in a tomb with the following vases, viz. 7. A trefoil oinochoè with late red figures, three ephebi. 13. A plain black glazed kantharos. 14. A ditto patera with graffito KAE. 15. A lekythos with late red figure of a crouching panther.

The remaining vases are of the usual late GraecoRoman black and drab ware, including some of the white-faced ware with polychrome decorations such as was found e.g. at Kyrene. A date for much of this class of objects is afforded by the case of a series acquired by the British Museum in 1859, all found together in a tomb in Karpathos. This tomb contained a large lebes precisely similar to No. 2, two oinocho of the thin-necked angular shape (common at Kyrene), some late glass, common Roman jewellery and three bronze coins of Antoninus Pius, Faustina, and Caracalla respectively.

Zeitschrift für das Gymnasialwesen herausg. G. VON H. KERN und H. J. MÜLLER. Berlin. Jan. 1887. THE only articles which call for mention here are, (1) On the History of the Roman Empire in Higher Education,' by Dr. H. Schiller, pp. 8-21, in which he insists on the importance of this study in the upper forms of schools of higher education, and suggests improvements in the methods of teaching it, by paying less attention to proper names and more to the growth of institutions. (2) Two Jahresberichte des philologischen Vereins zu Berlin, the former a report by H. J. Müller, editor of Weissenborn's Livy, on the literature of Livy during 1885 and 1886 (pp. 1-30), the latter by G. Andresen (pp. 31-48 incomplete), on Tacitus during 1884 and 1885. Besides the 3rd ed. of Weissenborn (Bks vi-viii), and the 4th of Madvig and Ussing which has been revised by Siesbye and Zacharia (Bks xxi-xxv), Luterbacher's school edition of Bks iii and iv with explanatory notes is praised. Two books of criticism are commended, Quaestiones criticre et palaeographicae de vetustis codicibus Livianis by W. Heraeus, and Prolegomena in T. Livii librum xxiii by A. Frigele. The reviewer notices only one English book (L. D. Dowdall, Bk xxi) which he pronounces to be merely a compilation, and one French by L. Duvau, giving an account of a new MS. of the 1st decad, which he considers to be of no importance. He also gives the names of nine English books, four French, three Italian, two Hungarian, two Russian, which he has not seen. Andresen notices seven German books on Tacitus, and names two French and one Italian. He speaks of K. Heraus' 4th ed. of Hist. i ii, and 3rd ed. of iii-v as having been considerably improved.

The Philologus, vol. xlvi., part 1, contains:

Expositor, Jan. 1887. In a very interesting paper which is continued in the Feb. number, Prof. Sanday states and examines three theories which he connects with the names of Bishop Lightfoot, Dr. Hatch, and Dr. A. Harnack, upon the origin of the Christian Ministry. Other articles are on Prof. Westcott as a theologian, by the Rev. W. H. Simcox, on the prophetess Deborah, by Prof. A. B. Davidson, on Difficult Texts of the Old Testament, by Prof. Driver. Prof. Cheyne gives brief laudatory notices of Kuehnen's Introduction to the Hexateuch and Dr. C. A. Briggs' on Messianic Prophecy.

In the Feb. number Prof. Westcott writes on Some Lessons from the Revised Version of the New Testament; Prof. J. A. Beet defends the literal meaning of aprayuós in Phil. ii. 6, translating deemed not his being equal to God a means of (perhaps rather 'ground for') grasping earthly good for himself.' Dr. Godet writes on the ep. to Philemon. There are also brief notices by Dr. Marcus Dodds of Old Biblical Texts no. ii, Weyinouth's Resultant Greck Testament, Rendel Harris' Fragments of Philo Judacus, and the 2nd ed. of Salmon's Introduction to the New Testament, containing a new chapter on the non-canonical books.
