Two vases, a cup and an oinochoe, from Arkesine in south-west Amorgos are published for the first time. It is argued that both are probably Middle Protogeometric, one an import from Euboia, the other from the south-east Aegean; chemical analysis supports both attributions. Their implications for the early history of Amorgos are discussed.

De Fläming is een streek ten zuidwesten van Berlijn die haar naam te danken heeft aan het feit dat ze in de 12de eeuw door Flamingi en Hollandi werd gekoloniseerd. Het onderwerp van deze bijdrage is evenwel niet de geschiedenis van deze middeleeuwse kolonisatie, maar de latere beeldvorming sedert de 19de eeuw. Toen prikkelde het idee dat de Fläming nog steeds bewoond werd door een authentiek Vlaamse bevolking die over de eeuwen heen haar taal, zeden en gebruiken gaaf had weten te bewaren, de verbeelding van heemkundigen, historici en filologen aan weerszijden. Aan Vlaamse kant was het de jurist en diplomaat Emile De Borchgave die dit idee in 1865 voor het eerst lanceerde. In Duitsland was het vooral dominee Otto Bölke die in een decennialange heemkundige bedrijvigheid de theorie van een nog steeds authentiek Vlaamse Fläming poogde te staven. Na de Duitse eenmaking in 1990 was het Fläming-verhaal aanleiding tot nieuwe Vlaams-Duitse contacten. De bijdrage schetst ook de ideologische gedaanteverwisselingen die dit verhaal in de loop van anderhalve eeuw heeft ondergaan.________ Der Fläming. History of a Flemish-German StoryThe Fläming is an area to the south-west of Berlin, which owes its name to the fact it was colonized by “Flamingi” and “Hollandi” in the twelfth century. However, the subject of this article is not the history of this medieval colonization, but the creation of an image thereof much later, from the nineteenth century on. At that time, the idea that the Fläming was still inhabited by an authentic Flemish population that had been able to fully preserve its language, manners, and customs throughout the centuries piqued the imagination of folklorists, amateur and professional historians and philologists on both sides of the border. On the Flemish side, it was the jurist and diplomat Emile De Borchgave who first put forth this idea in 1865. In Germany it was mostly the pastor Otto Bölke who attempted to support the theory of a still authentically Flemish Fläming, through decades of folkloric and historical activity. After German reunification in 1990, the story of the Fläming led to new Flemish-German contacts. This article also sketches the ideological metamorphoses that this story has undergone over the course of a century and a half.

Chapter 6 looks beyond the international and national stories of Vivien Leigh’s archives to examine her presence within one specific region: the South West of England. The chapter explores material collections in regional museums that house a range of artifacts and ephemera related to Leigh’s life. Through Leigh’s first in-laws, the Devon-based Holman family, a material history of her presence in the region has been retained and displayed in a range of local museums, including one founded by her former sister-in-law, Dorothy Holman. By delving into these museums and their collections and working closely with their curators, the chapter examines alternative stories of Leigh’s stardom. It considers the vernacular articulations of global stardom in local environments for local audiences, developed by distinctly localized curatorial agendas.

In the south-west coal-field of east Glamorganshire—especially in the Lower Coal Measures–Mr. A. Tait, of Caerphilly, observed last year a white, soft, and pulverulent substance, saponaceous to the touch. A specimen sent to me, examined first and identified by Mr. T. Crook, was found to consist of a congeries of well-defined crystals of kaolinite. The crystals are chiefly basal flakes, hexagonal in outline, and 0.02 to 0.037 mm. in length. Most of them show elongation in one direction, and unequal extension of the thin lamellae composing them.

History Of

Although volcanic rocks of Permian age have long been known to occur abundantly in Germany, their existence in Britain does not appear to have been recognized up to the present time. Trapdykes, indeed, are far from rare among our Permian strata; there occur likewise many igneous masses penetrating the higher portions of the Carboniferous formation; but the former are evidently later than the Permian period, while the latter may be anterior to it. The history of volcanic action in the British isles, so far as I am aware, embraces as yet no clear evidence of Permian volcanos. In the present communication I propose to fill up this gap by showing that during the formation of the Permian sandstones a series of small but active volcanos was scattered over the south-west of Scotland.
