ruins in the region mentioned in the 
title and embodies plans and descrip- 
tions of the locations of various an- 
tiquities, mainly discovered by the 
author during explorations carried

tional Museum during 1901, 1903, 
1905, collections from which are in

rendered possible by the generous 
cooperation with the Museum of Mr.
