Extract

The sites and inscriptions which follow were noted during a series of short journeys made in 1893 and 1894 with the help of grants from the Hellenic and Royal Geographical Societies. The geographical and descriptive results are published in Journ. Roy. Geog. Soc. viii, (shortly to appear), and a short account of the geology in Journal Oxf. Junior Scientific Club, ii. 33 (Jan. 1896): cf. Proc. Brit. Ass. 1893 (Nottingham), p. 746. An account of Telmessos, Karyanda and Taramptos has already appeared in the Hellenic Journal, xiv. 373 ff.

These researches are confined to the area included between Latmos (Besh-parmak) and the Latmian Gulf (Denizli Liman) on the north, the Marsyas valley (China Chai) on the east, the Gulf of Keramos on the south, and the sea on the west. Though sites already identified were in nearly all cases visited, they are not discussed here, unless there is fresh evidence to bring forward.

4 The smaller is a fragment of a Greek moulding, with egg and tongue pattern; the other struck me at first sight as being Byzantine, but afterwards as being a piece of old Carian work. My drawings of the marbles were lost, owing to a mishap, and I cannot verify my judgment about them without revisiting the site. It is improbable that they were brought to this not easily accessible place as votive offerings, although we know how much the magie power of sculptured stones is esteemed by superstitious people in these countries. —W.R.P.
