Chamoux (p. 24, note 2) has referred to my History of Ancient Cyrenaica, 1948, and I would here like to add that as remarked in my Western Desert article, II, p. 500, note 2, the History ‘is mainly intended to give a summary of the history of the country as well as an account of the Egyptian monuments at Tolmeita; the publi cations of the Italian authorities must be consulted for details of their archaeological finds as a whole’.

4 The citadel-site of Rhacotis dates at least from 1500 B.C. Cf. op. cit., II, p. 485, note 3. When Alexander established the city bearing his name all that he actually did was to add a series of suburbs to the east of the ancient area of Rhacotis. I hope shortly to publish the history of this area and of its pharaonic monuments, together with proposed new identifica tions for the positions of the tombs of the great Macedonian.

An account of the activities of the expedition has been prepared for publication; this will include plans and sections of the ‘Tomb of Battus’ and other sepulchres.
