as to the material which can be purchased in other countries than our own. One point may be mentioned here. The Oxford University Galleries have found it advisable to break up a considerable number of what would undoubtedly be considered " too expensive works" relating to Renaissance art in order to arrange the plates which they contain under the artists by whom the pictures and drawings were executed. The same necessity would undoubtedly apply in a well-arranged collection of photographs of classical art; and it would seem advisable in both cases for an arrangement to be arrived at between publishers and museums, so that the latter might be able to obtain a duplicate set of the plates of bound works for this purpose. This applies more especially to English books, which, even if containing numerous plates, are often issued strongly bound. Italian archaeological research has been extended to Albania, and Ugolini, who has already published the first volume of his Albania Antica, has undertaken successful excavations there-first on the huge acropolis of Fericki, which covers seven times the area of the acropolis at Athens, surrounded by enormous blocks of stone. Here a small Greek treasury of about the fourth century в.с. and a large Roman cistern were excavated. In 1928 work was transferred to the acropolis of Buthrotum, the modern Butrino, where Virgil makes Aeneas meet Helenus, the son of Priam, who had married Andromache, and built a citadel which reproduced that of Troy, with the same names. The walls are imposing, and a splendid gate 15 feet high and of considerable length has been cleared; and within them the remains of a large sacred well of a large Roman basilica and of a nymphaeum have been found. In both these two buildings fine statues of the Greek period came to light, while the Byzantine Age was represented by a large baptistery of the fifth century after Christ, with 16 columns and a well-preserved K mosaic pavement. On both sides prehistoric remains were found, which go back to the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age, and are similar to those belonging to the same periods in Italy. 1 Absence from Rome owing to illness has occasioned a number of imperfections in this article, for which I must apologize.
