AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ARCH.I~ ,OLOGY. 294. This is a superfluous forme supposee, and the forms and discussion here inserted belong to No. 121. At the end of the archaic syllabary are given the numerals as found in the Gudea inscriptions. Following these is a list of late Assyrian signsin Norris' order-referring by Nos. to their archaic originals. Next follows a list of Assyrian signs, not developed in the archaic syllabary. At the end of the book we find a few unassimilated signs, and, in outline, the order of archaic classification followed. The work is autographed in an admirable style. It is a credit to the firm of Leroux, which puts, at present, so many valuable works into the hands of scholars. The work itself deserves our hearty welcome, and the authors our thanks. It is a substantial step forward to a history of the development of wedge-writing.
