Extract

Towards the close of 1938 Professor Bernard Ashmole sent me a photograph, taken by Miss Freya Stark, of an inscription discovered by her on an island near the head of the Persian Gulf, and suggested that I should publish it in this Journal. This I do with the kind permission of Miss Stark, to whom I here express afresh my sincere thanks.
