I regret that an acknowledgment of the courtesy of the Director of the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston, in supplying the excellent photographs from which the illustrations of the Boston relief were produced, was accidentally omitted from my previous article.

Since the appearance of my article on this relief in the last number of the Journal, I have to thank Dr. Eisler for calling my attention to the very interesting and suggestive paper published by him in the Transactions of the ‘Kunstwissenschaftliche Gesellschaft’ of Munich in the Münchener Jahrbuch für bild. Kunst, 1912. Whatever, view one may take of the artistic problems involved, the interpretation of the reliefs is extremely difficult, and is not satisfactorily solved in Prof. Studniczka's discussion. Dr. Eisler suggests that we should recognise in the Boston relief a duplication of Aphrodite— the sorrowful and the rejoicing—as well as of Adonis, and regards the whole as representing a Babylonian and Phoenician symbolism of astronomical import—the balance recalling the constellation libra and the equilibrium of night and day at the equinox, and the figures in the scales the approach of the winter and summer half-year with the elevation and depression of the sun.
