This site has not been tested by excavation. Such finds as are known were collected from the surface of the mound in the autumn of 1971. No attempt was made to collect systematically: the intention was simply to provide sherd material in order to date the site. The site was located during pre-excavation surveys by Whallon and Kantmann (map, METU 1968 Report: site N 52/3).The mound of Kurupınar is situated on the west side of the upland valley, c. 2 km. west of the şose to Çemişgezek, along a track leading to Engüzek; a poor spring is found near the north foot of the site. Engüzek lies c. 2·5 km. away to the southwest.

Mithridates VI the Great began his solidified rule by expanding his kingdom, seemingly with the goal of encircling the Black Sea. He gained possession of the ancient territory of Colchis and then strengthened his predecessors’ control of the Bosporos, on the north side of the sea. He also established a presence on the west side of the sea. The locals on the north side of the sea welcomed the king because they were constantly subject to barbarian pressures. There were also economic benefits to the Pontic kingdom in acquisition of the new territories. Mithridates also established a Pontic presence south and west of his kingdom, in Paphlagonia and Galatia. Yet such aggressive actions by the king were noticed by the Romans, even though the northern Black Sea was not in any region of their direct interest.

Charles Edward Inglis was the second surviving son of Dr Alexander Inglis, M.D., M.R.C.S.E., of Auchindinny and Redhall, and of his first wife, Florence, the second daughter of John Frederick Feeney, proprietor of the Birmingham Daily Post, whose family founded the Feeney Art Gallery in that city. The Inglis family of Auchindinny appear first as tenants and afterwards owners of the farm of Langbyres, which adjoins the west side of Murdostoun in the parish of Shotts, Lanarkshire. The first mention of them in connexion with the place is found in the Lord High Treasurer’s accounts for 1543 when John Inglis in Langbyres and James Kneland in Swyntre had to pay £13 6s. 8d. to redeem their movable goods, which had been escheated as a penalty for their absence from the army, mustered by James V to invade England, which was routed at Solway Moss. The estate of Auchindinny, about 730 acres, was purchased in 1702 by one John Inglis, a Writer to the Signet, who had succeeded to Langbyres in 1685. Auchindinny lies about eight miles south of Edinburgh, on the right bank of the North Esk and at the south end of the parish of Lasswade. The house, completed in 1707, is a severe substantial sandstone building. John Inglis had eleven children. One of his grand-daughters, Barbara, co-heiress of Archibald, Laird of Auchindinny, married in 1777 her cousin, Captain, afterwards Admiral, John Inglis, R.N., of Redhall, whose father had left Scotland and settled in Philadelphia as a merchant about 1736. Captain Inglis commanded H.M.S. Belliqueux at the battle of Camperdown. The ship took a conspicuous share in the fighting, there being a hundred and three casualties out of a complement of four hundred and ninety-one, and quite redeemed the character which she had lost in the Mutiny at the Nore a few months earlier. It is said that the Captain was puzzled in the battle by his Admiral’s frequent signals and at last threw his signal book on deck exclaiming, ‘Damn the signals; up wi’ the hellem and gang into the middle o’ it’. He thus anticipated Nelson’s celebrated memorandum that ‘when a captain should be at a loss he cannot do very wrong if he lay his ship alongside of the enemy’.

Although the Rhætic beds are not exposed continuously along the eastern boundary of the Keuper outcrop, they have been proved at many points from the River Trent in the north on the Nottinghamshire border to Glen Parva in the south. South of this point there is so much drift, and borings within the Liassic outcrop have been so isolated or shallow, that there is a gap in our knowledge of the intervening ground between the last point and the Rugby district. The Countesthorpe boring, carried to a depth of over 600 feet, encountered Upper Keuper beneath the Drift, with no intervening Rhætics. Commencing in the north in the Gotham district the two outliers are capped above the Red Marl and Tea-green Marl with Rhætic beds, and Lower Lias Limestone (Ps. planorbe zone) above. At Ash Spinney at the south end of the southern outlier, and at the east end of Crownend Wood, Black Shales with Avicula contorta crop out; and on the west side septaria are seen. On the north-west side of the northern outlier at Cottager's Hill Protocardium phillipianum has been found in a well-section near the lane. Rhætic shales are seen in the shafts driven for gypsum works about Gotham.

The Village

The village of Kalývia Sokhás lies against the base of one of the massive foothills in which Taygetus falls to the plain three or four miles to the south of Sparta (Plate 26, 1). It is bounded by two rivers which flow down in deep clefts from the mountain shelf. The hillside above rises steeply to a summit which is girt with cliffs on all but the west side and cannot be much less than four thousand feet above sea level; this von Prott believed to be the peak of Taleton. Its summit is crowned by the ruins of a mediaeval castle which was undoubtedly built as a stronghold to overlook the Spartan plain; the only dateable object found there, a sherd of elaborate incised ware, indicates occupation at the time when the Byzantines were in possession of Mystra. The location of the other sites mentioned by Pausanias in this region remains obscure, but fortunately that of the Spartan Eleusinion has not been in doubt since von Prott discovered a cache of inscriptions at the ruined church of H. Sophia in the village of Kalývia Sokhás. In 1910 Dawkins dug trenches at the foot of the slope immediately above the village and recovered a fragment of a stele relating to the cult of the goddesses and pieces of inscribed tiles from the sanctuary. The abundance of water in the southern ravine led von Prott to conclude that the old town of Bryseai with its cult of Dionysus also lay at Kalývia Sokhás; but no traces of urban settlement have come to light at the village, and the name rather suggests copious springs such as issue from the mountain foot at Kefalári a mile to the north where ancient blocks are to be seen in the fields.

In his masterly work on Tarentum, P. Wuilleumier (Tarente, 5) identifies the Galaesus with the Citrezze or Giadrezze, a small stream running into the north side of the Mare Piccolo, about two miles from the channel on the west side of the citadel of Tarentum which connects the Mare Piccolo with the sea. This identification, which has been often repeated since Lenormant's time (La Grande-Grèce, i. 19) and spread beyond the narrow bounds of pure scholarship by the writings of George Gissing (By the Ionian Sea, 60 ff.), Norman Douglas (Old Calabria, 80), and David Randall-Madver (Greek Cities in Italy and Sicily, 76), is likely to hold the field by virtue, of Wuilleumier's support. But it is irreconcilable with the only ancient evidence on the position of this river, given in the account of Hannibal's movements in 212 B.C.

Note on the Occurrence of Dayia navicula (J. de C. Sowerby) in the Lower Ludlow Rocks of Shropshire

Type Area

In the type area the Ludlow Rocks generally have been divided into Lower Ludlow Shales, Aymestry Limestone, Dayia Shales and Whitcliffe Flags in upward sequence. The Dayia Shales are characterized by the presence of enormous numbers of Dayia navicula (J. de C. Sowerby). This preponderance of D. navicula in the shales immediately above the Aymestry Limestone has caused a tendency to regard beds in other localities containing this fossil as being on the same stratigraphical horizon in spite of the character of the accompanying fauna. In two recent papers on the Ludlow Rocks of the Welsh Borderland (Straw, 1937, and Earp, 1938) it has been shown that D. navicula ranges through at least 3,000 feet of strata, occurring commonly throughout this great thickness and outlasting more than one change of fauna. Although, in this area, the brachiopod ranges from the zone of Monograptus nilssoni into the Upper Ludlow it has not hitherto been recorded below the Aymestry Limestone in Shropshire. This gap in our knowledge is now filled by the discovery of specimens in Lower Ludlow Shales exposed in a small quarry 40 yards north-east of Stokewood Cottage, which is on the west side of the railway line a little over a mile south of Craven Arms. The quarry shows about 15 feet of nodular shales with thin limestone seams. The commonest fossils are Chonetes laevigata (J. de C. Sowerby), C. minima (J. de C. Sowerby), and Stropheodonta filosa (J. de C. Sowerby) which occur in large numbers on some of the bedding surfaces. Other fossils are Stropheodonta euglypha (Dalman), Delthyris sp., Orthoceras sp., Dalmanites sp., and a plectambonitid. Dayia navicula seems to be confined to a thin layer on the north side of the quarry. Graptolites referable to Monograptus cf. chimaera occur fairly commonly. About 400 yards in a south-easterly direction another small quarry exposes Conchidium Limestone which is about 170 feet stratigraphically above the beds in the first quarry.

Anorthosite Complex

An unusual occurrence of ultrabasic material was located in the eastern Sukkertoppen region during the reconnaissance mapping programme of 1977, the findings of which were described by Allaart et al. (1978). It occurs on a small exposure on the west side of a north-pointing peninsula in the middle of the large nunatak Majorqap alangua (65°53'N, 50°40'W), to the north-east of the Majorqaq valley (Hall, 1978, fig. 21). The area is composed predominantly of a suite of granulite facies granitic gneisses which contain numerous enclaves of pyroxene-bearing amphibolites, and locally anorthositic and gabbroic rocks similar to those seen in the Fiskenæsset anorthosite complex (Myers, 1975). The gneisses in the centre af the nunatak are highly irregular in orient at ion, occupying the complex interseclion af closures af at least two major fold phases. A belt af amphibolitcs forms the cliff at the south-west tip af Majorqap alangua. Related rocks occur in arnphibolite facies in the acea around the lakc Qardlit taserssuat immediately to the soulh (Hall, 1978).

The church discussed in the paper is situated in Avgia, on the outskirts of Batumi. It is an early Christian period hall-type church with northern and southern wings. The ground plan of the whole structure resembles the well-known layout of the croixlibre. The whole building is 23.85 m long and 19.0 m wide – including the arms. It has a projecting semi-circular apse whose radius is 6.05 m. The main space of the church is divided into three parts. It consists of a transverse hall, which may have operated as a narthex, a hall, and an altar apse. The floor of the structure was covered with pinkish lime mortar, a mixture of small pebbles and ceramic powder. The only central entrance to the church was located on the west side. The northern annex had an entrance in the north-western corner, and the southern one – in the south-eastern corner. The church seems to have been built of rubble stone. The construction style, layout, and archaeological evidence from the site narrow down its chronology to the 5th and 6th centuries AD.

This chapter recounts how the author became an evangelist for floating pools by the end of the 1990s. It mentions plans for twenty-five major projects by 1986 that went before the New Jersey Waterfront Commission for approval, from Fort Lee on the north of Hoboken to Bayonne eighteen miles to the south. It also talks about proposals that included parks, marinas, and a continuous waterfront walkway along the west side of the Hudson River. The chapter details how the author won a $25,000 grant from the New York Community Trust to do a feasibility study for the floating project, which in turn brought her to architect Jonathan Kirschenfeld's office to seek his professional help. It describes Kirschenfeld as an earnest man and the very picture of a serious idealist.

Construction of offshore artificial islands may cause change on hydrodynamic and erosion-deposition characteristics. By predicting the current and sediment field of LongKou Bay with Mike21 model, This paper assesses the influence of the construction of artificial islands in aspects of hydrodynamic and erosion-deposition environment. Simulating results show that the relative hydrodynamic characteristics have dramatically changed. The results also show that the deposition-dominating areas are located at the north and southwest side, while the west side area is dominated by erosion. The area inside the waterway of artificial islands deposits severely under the southwest windy condition.
