The geographical configuration of Western Macedonia, resolved into its simplest elements, may be described as consisting of two parallel depressions, running roughly north-west and south-east, and separated from one another by a mountain range, the whole area being itself entirely enclosed by mountains. The eastern of the two depressions has a northern and a southern half. The northern half is the valley of the upper Černa, the southern is composed of the low land round the western end of Lake Ostrovo, which is connected by a narrow corridor with the valley of the middle Haliákmon. Similarly, the western depression has two well-defined areas. The northern is the basin of Lake Ochrid and the plain of Korytzá; the southern, the basin of the upper Haliákmon and its tributaries.

page 163 note 1 Joint-excavators with myself were Miss H. L. Lorimer and Mr. R. W. Hutchinson. The expenses of the excavation were met by generous grants from the British Association and from the British School at Athens (Macedonian Exploration Fund).
page 163 note 2 The pithos was sunk into virgin soil to a depth of ·8 m. Only the rim projected. It was covered with a round stone slab.
page 165 note 1 The Greek remains are too scanty to merit fuller description. The pottery, which includes some local imitations, ranges from the fifth to the second century.

page 194 note 1 I had formed this opinion before reading Prof. Childe's Aryans, where a similar view is expressed (p. 59). Prof. Childe over-estimates, I think, the Balkan character of the Macedonian pottery which appears in Thessaly at this time.
