American School at Athens.

The thirteenth annual report of the managing committee of the American School at Athens, compiled by the chairman, Professor Thomas D. Seymour has recently appeared.

The work of excavation has been carried on principally at Argive Heraeum and Eretria, in both of which places discoveries of a most interesting nature and scientific value were made. Professor Waldstein would rank these excavations with those at Olympia at Epidaurus, and on the Athenian Acropolis, and prospectively also with those at Delphi. The climax of research was the unearthing of the beehive tombs of the Mycenaean period, which had been sought in vain for several years. The vases found therein were nearly all in perfect preservation and the positions of the bones found massed together would indicate that the bodies were not laid out. Eleusis, Euboea, Thessaly, AEtolia, Acarnania, Phocis and Boeotia were also visited by different parties from the school.
