Top

IN accordance with the new arrangement for the publication of the "Annual of the British School of Archaeology at Athens", the formal matter, which includes the report of the director covering the activities of members of the School during the year, the accounts, and the summary of archaeological operations in the Greek area of the eastern Mediterranean in the preceding year, will in future be issued separately to subscribers, the report for the session 1935-36 being the first occasion on which the decision of the Committee takes effect. In the chronicle of the session precedence is taken by a reference to the lamented and untimely death of the director, Mr. Humfrey Payne, on May 9, 1936. Mr. A. H. G. Megaw, who took charge of the School as acting director, left in the following July to take up his duties on appointment as director of antiquities in Cyprus.
