ANCIENT GREECE
WHAT EXCAVATIONS REVEAL. Mr Edgar John Forsdyke, who has just been appointed keeper of Greek and Roman antiquities at the British Museum, has played a very important part in the research which in recent years has greatly added to the knowledge of old Greece, says the London "Daily Telegraph." He has been closely associated with Sir Arthur Evans in the great excavatons which have been carried out since the war in Crete. His catalogue of Greek vases of the Minoana, Cycladic and Helladic periods is a work which involved vast labour and scholarship. It is of immense value to students. Mr Forsdyke's department is one of those which have their own students' room, and here he has guided the researches of many aspiring scholars in this fascinating branch of archaeology.
