 Chairman of Managing Committee, Columbia University, New York, 

 N. Y. Grant No. 619. Maintenance of a fellozvship in architecture at 

 Athens. (For previous reports see Year Books Nos. 4-8.) $1,000 



Mr. Dinsmoor has continued his work on the western slope of the Acrop- 

 olis and has published an elaborate article on the Gables of the Propylaea in 

 the American Journal of Archaeology (vol. xiv, 1910, pp. 143-184, 2 plates, 

 15 text-figures). He has also discovered the site of the choragic monument 

 of Nicias, the position of which has hitherto been misunderstood, and has 

 written an article on this monument, which has been sent to the editors of the 

 Journal of Archaeology 7 . He has also given the director of the school assist- 

 ance in certain work at Corinth which involved architectural study. His 

 chief work, however, has been in Athens, as described above. The officers 

 of the school are much gratified with what he has accomplished. 



American School of Classical Studies in Rome. Andrew F. West, Chair- 

 man of Managing Committee, Princeton University, Princeton, N. J. 

 Grant No. 615. Continuation of investigations in the field of Roman 

 archeology. (For previous reports see Year Books Nos. 4-8.) $2,000 

 Dr. Elias A. Loew (Carnegie Associate 1907-1908) continued his valuable 

 work on the Scriptura Bcneventana. One-half of this work is in press. It 

 comprises about 100 fac-similes of the writing of Benevento, published by 

 the Palaeographical Society ; a preface will accompany the whole. The 

 second half is a study of the script in the form of a lengthy monograph, to 

 be published independently of the first half. This monograph is well ad- 

 vanced towards completion. The coming year (Dr. Loew has been reap- 

 pointed) will see the completion of this work, which bids fair to be of great 

 historical value. Dr. Henry H. Armstrong, Carnegie Research Associate, 

 made a topographical and historical study of the ancient Privernum in the 

 Pomptine Marshes, between Rome and Terracina. He discovered a large 

 quantity of new matter, both on the spot itself and in the search of the 

 archives. His work is in process of publication by the American Journal of 

 Archaeology.
