The collection of fifty-three Luristān bronzes in the possession of Mr. Frank Savery, British Consul-General at Warsaw, is among the largest private collections of its kind, and surpasses in number and choice even those of some museums. It includes several hitherto unknown types and varieties, and I should like to express my sincere thanks to the owner for his kindness in allowing me to study it and to publish the results. I am no less indebted to Professor Ellis H. Minns, Cambridge, for his valuable assistance in arranging my manuscript for the press and reading the proofs, and to the Society of Antiquaries of London, who kindly accepted the paper for publication in Archaeologia.
