The fragments with tubular holes (on p. 218) belong to large bowls,on account of which the holes are much wider, as the heavy weight ofthe vessels, when filled, necessitated a strong cord. On some bowls these protuberances, containing the tubular holes forsuspension, are ornamented, as in Nos. 40 and 42, with deep impressedfurrows, so that they have the shape of a hand with the fingers clenched. In the tubular hole of a fragment of a bowl in my possession, myfriend the professor of chemistry, Xavier Landerer, late of the Universityof Athens, found the remnants of the cord which had served for sus-pending the vase. He ascertained these remnants to be of an organicnature ; they burned, he says, like tinder or like the fibres of a threador cord. On
