Athenian Lekythoi With Outline Drawing in Matt Color On a White Ground

uch examples as I have been able to study, and to indicate the relations of different classes, in order to lay the foundations for a knowledge of this important branch of vase painting. The problem has been more difficult than in the case of lekythoi drawn in glaze outline, and the classes are not so sharply divided ; I believe, however, that the types are fairly definite, and that the classification serves in the main to bring together lekythoi which belong together and must be studied together. Furtwangler-Reichold's Weissgrundige attische Lekythen, with its large and fine reproductions, reached me only when the whole book (except the indices) was electrotyped and ready for the press. For its careful scholarship I can express only my admiration. That my interpretations sometimes differ in detail is to be expected, but a preface gives no opportunity to modify or to defend my views. I cannot refrain from expressing my thanks to the University of Michigan for making place for this volume also in the series in which my other volume appeared, and to John M. Longyear, Esq., whose generous gift to the University of Michigan made possible its publication under these auspices. ARTHUR FAIRBANKS. 9 June, 1914.
