^{page 143 note 1} Journal of the North Munster Archaeological Society, vol. I, fig. on p. 12. The monument known as Leaba Iscur stands in a valley of the Ballyhoura Mts. in Limerick. In plan it is shaped like a ship, and reminds one of the navetas of the Balearic Isles. At the entrance stand two orthostatic blocks or antae, but there is no sign of the curved façade usual in the Giants’ Graves of Sardinia. The chamber is 14 ft. long. It is 4 feet wide at the centre and rather narrower at the ends. The side walls of this chamber consist of five horizontal courses of fairly rough blocks, each course overlapping the last. The whole is roofed by large flat slabs.

^{page 144 note 2} Annual of the British School at Athens, xiii. pp. 405 ff. Since the remarkable discoveries in Malta and Sardinia I am inclined to accept the attribuiion of rock-tombs and megalithic monuments in the West Mediterranean to a single people. This would practically involve the admission of an immigration of the megalithic people into Sicily previous to the ‘First Sicilian Period,’ for I do not believe that mere foreign influence could have determined anylhing so fundamental and sacred as a grave-type. This view, however, is not without its difficulties, for the material of the first Siculan period, if we except Western Sicily, does not resemble at all closely the usual ‘megalithic’ material of the Western Mediterranean. If the view be correct it will no longer be necessary to explain the Castelluccio spirals as Aegaean, while the Cava Lazzaro and Cava Lavinaro tomb architecture (Orsi in Ausonia, ii. 1907, p. 7Google Scholar; Notizie degli Scavi, 1905, p. 432, Fig. 18) is in still less need of such an explanation, since the Halsaflieni hypogeum shows it to be typical megalithic work.

It should always be remembered that Sicily lay just midway between the Aegaean and the West Mediterranean civilizations and was accordingly subject to influences from both.

^{page 163 note 1} Mayr is no doubt right in seeing three periods in the building of Hagiar Kim, but the few potsherds saved from the excavations might well belong all to one period. [See Mayr, Die vorgeschichtlichen Denkmäler von Malta, pp. 676–7.]
