page 330 note 1 The people of Sphakia will tell you that there are “plenty” of red-legged partridges. By European standards I found them extremely scarce, though during the war, when shooting was difficult, they were very plentiful.

page 331 note 1 I do not give the locality of this place. Our host, a most delightful man, was “in retirement” while the question of two homicides, the latest of a series of six to which he owns, is being settled.

page 333 note 1 This is not quite correct. There has been considerable interest in the U.S.A. owing to the presentation of an agrimi to President Truman. And the Greek authorities are certainly interested, if inactive.
