Abstract
DR. FELIX OSWALD'S index to the potters' stamps on Terra Sigillata is an achievement in more senses than one. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining a publisher for a work of so highly specialised a character and the expense of private publication, the author has himself set up and printed the whole on a hand press. It has been the work of his leisure over a period of three years. The result is a credit to his knowledge of typography; and students of Roman provincial cultures are doubly indebted to him for carrying to completion this laborious but indispensable task, by which he supplements and completes the study of sigillata ware published by him in collaboration with Dr. T. Davies Pryce eleven years ago.
