When I published my book on the Ancient Marbles in Great Britain (Cambridge, University Press, 1882), I was fully convinced that the catalogue there given would be susceptible of many corrections and supplements. But the hope I expressed in the preface, that I should be informed of marbles existing in private collections which might have escaped my notice by their owners or other competent persons, has completely failed; nor have I become aware of publications concerning this matter. Nevertheless, I cannot help thinking that there must be in Great Britain a good deal of hidden treasure of the kind, which would perhaps easier come to light if there were a place expressly destined to receive such communications. Now, there can be no doubt that no place would be more appropriate to the purpose than the Journal of Hellenic Studies. I have therefore ventured to propose to the Editors to open in this Journal a corner for storing up such supplements and corrections. As a first instalment, I here offer some notes which may begin the series, and which can be continued. May other lovers and students of classic art, especially in Great Britain, follow my example.

The monumental work of Professor Michaelis, Ancient Marbles in Great Britain, must always remain the basis of any study among English collections of antiques. But since its publication in 1882 not a few collections have changed hands, others have been dispersed, while others, more fortunate, have been enlarged; in these various processes much that was unknown even to Michaelis has come to light, and he himself soon supplemented his great work by two important papers printed in this Journal in 1884 and 1885. He prefaced the first of these supplementary papers with the following words:‘I cannot help thinking that there must be in Great Britain a good deal of bidden treasure…which would perhaps easier come to light if there were a place expressly destined to receive such communications…I have therefore ventured to propose to the Editors to open in this Journal a corner for storing up such supplements…As a first instalment, I here offer some notes which may begin the series…May other lovers and students of the Classic art, especially in Great Britain, follow my example.’

This chapter considers some of what is known about variation in wh-movement and negation, and the extent to which parameter hierarchies can be constructed to account for at least some of that variation. A good deal of the variation surveyed in this chapter follows from the formal options allowing these special indefinites to receive the interpretations they do. It begins with wh-parameters, in particular the very well-known parameter determining whether a language has overt wh-movement or not, as well as the parameters governing different kinds of multiple wh-movement. It then turns to negation. One interesting point which emerges is that parametric variation regarding some aspects of interrogatives and negation is very simple, and probably does not involve a hierarchy. In other areas, parameter hierarchies of the now familiar kind can be proposed.

The question of the classification of the red-figured vases of Magna Graecia is still highly controversial. So is the question of the foremost seat of the industry, and of the development of the fabric or fabrics. A good deal is being done at the moment in various quarters towards straightening out the problem, but divergence of opinion on essential points is still wide. This article does not attempt to give another complete classification, nor is it intended primarily to resuscitate admiration for works of art wilfully neglected, to cry shame on those who hurry through museum rooms of South Italian exhibits to reach the Attic. It suggests, however, that there might be a pause in these rooms if examples of the best South Italian work were always there. But not infrequently the best have been put among the Attic. Many too are in comparatively inaccessible places and are unpublished. There are several good ones in England that are little known, being in private collections or unexpected museums. Some of these I am publishing, as well as one or two of those that in their museums are thought to be Attic. I am also describing briefly the different groups to which these vases belong, in an attempt to lay down new lines on which the subject may be approached.

The International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics, which is one of the Commissions set up by the International Mathematical Union, has been conducting an enquiry into the teaching of mathematics between the ages of 16 and 21. A full report has already been published on this aspect of teaching so far as Germany is concerned and a questionnaire was sent to all countries participating in the work of the commission. The British National Committee for Mathematics appointed Dr. E. A. Maxwell to represent Britain on the International Commission and a sub-committee consisting of Dr. Maxwell, Miss M. L. Cartwright, A. P. Rollett and G. L. Parsons to prepare the answers to the questionnaire. This sub-committee also received a good deal of help from the Department of Education of Cambridge University in connection with questions relating to the general system of education. The sub-committee confined their replies for the most part to work done in schools. With the replies were sent various relevant pamphlets published by the Ministry of Education, specimen timetables from various types of schools, a large number of examination papers and syllabuses and reports of the Mathematical Association. The questionnaire was framed for dealing with state systems of education similar to that in Germany and covered the whole educational system. We give only those parts of it relating to the technical aspects of the enquiry.
