page 1 note 1 I am sorry not to be able in any way to keep to the heads of Mr. Grundy's paper in the C.R. But by inadvertence he has made a misarrangement. His 4D, 4E, &c, ought to be 5, 6, &c, as they are not sections of the fortifications of Pylos. It is not worth while perpetuating this.

page 2 note 6 It is useless for Mr. Grundy to quote against me J.H.S., Plate VIII.; Fig. 1. The drawing of the senth-east corner as I before remarked, J.H.S. p. 55, is net in the least accurate. The sandbar too is apparently regarded as non-existent. J.H.S., p. 69.

page 8 note 1 J.H.S., p. 18. Not only would the channel be navigable on Arnold's Theory, but it would be made narrow by ‘Sphacteria.’ According to Mr. Grundy's identification of Sphacteria the island would have nothing to do with the entrance, which would make Thucydides guilty of a still further blunder.

page 9 note 3 Thuc. IV., 13, 3. MrGrundy, , J.H.S., pp. 3032Google Scholar, apparently thinks refers to the ships blocking the eastern of the two channels. Here, then, even the first informant used λιμ⋯ν in a double sense! For these ships were not in the inner harbour.

page 10 note 1 It is not certain where the Athenians landed. It is impossible to learn in which direction they had to move to reach this first outpost.
