The subject of the exploits of Theseus as seen on Greek vase-paintings has recently been treated by Professor Milani in a long and interesting paper in the Museo Italiano di antichità classica (iii. 1, p. 236). I propose therefore to set aside all general consideration of the myth and its typography, and to confine myself to the discussion and elucidation of two hitherto unpublished vases (plates I., II.), one of them included in Professor Milani's list, one entirely unknown to him, and both, as I hope to show, having strong claims on the attention of archaeologists. They are (1) a red-figured vase, which for convenience sake I shall call from its owner the Tricoupi cylix; (2) the fragments of a red-figured cylix from the De Luynes collection in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.1. The Tricoupi cylix, plate I. When I was in Athens in the spring of 1888, Miss Tricoupi with her accustomed kindness, so familiar to all visitors to Athens, allowed me to examine at my leisure her brother's collection of antiquities. I found to my surprise that it contained a vase which I have reason to believe is from the hand of Duris, and of which, so far as I am aware, no mention has been made in the numerous discussions of vases dealing with the exploits of Theseus, and which therefore, I suppose to be entirely unknown. I record here my grateful thanks to Miss Tricoupi for her kind permission to publish the vase, and for her goodness in facilitating its exact reproduction. The drawing from which plate I. is facsimiled was made for me by M. Gilliéron under my own personal supervision, and I can therefore vouch for its perfect accuracy. I was specially anxious to secure its.immediate publication as, though the vase is at present in such safe hands, the security of antiquities in private collections is always precarious.

As encouraged by the interesting paper “Solar eclipses as a teaching opportunity in relativity” by Overduin et al.,awe made measurements of the angular deflections of neighboring stars during the 9 March 2016 total solar eclipse as imaged by National University of Singapore (NUS) students, to verify a result of general relativity. In this project, we used these images and measured the stars’ pixel positions and transformed them to equatorial coordinates using a similar approach to Overduin et al., with a few modifications. Instead of solving to determine the pixel scale and rotation, we performed a plate solution using the software AstroImageJ which enables accounting for the image’s higher order distortion. This data is found in the image’s Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) header. Image star pair separations were then compared to their database separations after determining how the individual deflections affect angular separation. Our experimental results have large uncertainties and were deemed imprecise to confirm the effects of gravitational light deflection. We include a detailed analysis and discussion on this educational project.

The proof which I gave in June, 1891, of the production of “rich phosphate” by enrichment of phosphatic chalk through the influence of the Tertiary deposit called “bief,” enabled us to foresee the existence of similar rich phosphate in the London Basin; since phosphatic chalk, analogous to that which I had described or discovered in Picardy, especially at Hardivilliers and Hallencourt, had been discovered by Mr. Strahan and described by him in an interesting paper “On a Phosphatic Chalk with Belemnitella quadrata.”

The Subject

A general account has already been given of this interesting paper—interesting as regards the subject, and interesting as being the author's first prentice effort. All that remains to be noticed here is what may be called Cayley's series of vanishing axisymmetric determinants.

Do So

In venturing to offer a second communication to the Royal Society respecting the structure of the liver, I feel the rather anxious to do so, that I may have an opportunity of correcting an error and supplying a deficiency which existed in my previous paper. In the following observations I purpose to present some account of the structure of the liver examined in the ascending series of animals, and also to describe the several stages of its evolution in the embryo; in this way I trust I may be able to exhibit the characteristic structural features of the organ as it exists in Man and the higher animals, and also to determine the true place which ought to be assigned to it in a classification of the various glandular organs occurring in the same. I am not aware that any detailed account of the structure of the liver has been recently published, except that by M. Natalis Guillot, which however, so far as I comprehend it, does not seem to be one that can be readily accepted; the idea that the minute biliary ducts and lymphatics originate together in a common net-work, is à priori improbable, and entirely opposed to conclusive evidence (as I think), which will be subsequently adduced. A very interesting paper on the structure and function of the liver has also appeared in the 4th volume of the Guy’s Hospital Reports, from the pen of Dr. Williams; to his labours I shall several times have occasion to refer, but it will be seen that I differ from him in several particulars, especially respecting the importance of the basement or limitary membrane.

A Minor

So the brief ‘respite’ of summer is over, and we find ourselves plunging, once more towards the abyss of winter bed pressures. Hopefully those of you working at the coalface will find time to browse through the following pages. The production of a third issue in this ‘shortened’ year, following the launch of the Journal in July, is a credit to the hard work of the editorial and publishing teams. I am, as ever, grateful for their support. Next year will see a return to the planned 4-monthly cycle, with issues anticipated in March, July and November. One casualty of the tight schedule has been a minor adjustment to the cycle of reviews – COPD will now appear next Spring. In its place we have included an interesting paper reviewing the management of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome and Serotonin Syndrome, submitted by Consultant Psychiatrist David McNamara. Gastrointestinal haemorrhage and atrial fibrillation will be more familiar to readers, while Dr Joanna Girling’s review of the management of medical emergencies in pregnancy is essential reading for any physician working close to a maternity unit. Myasthenia gravis may not be the commonest medical emergency; nonetheless it is important that physicians are able to suspect, diagnose and initiate treatment for this condition. As I mentioned in my last editorial, I am keen to encourage submissions of case reports, audits, and pieces of original research provided they would appeal to a general medical readership. Cases need not be rare conditions, but must contain a clear teaching message for the reader. In future editions case reports will be categorised as ‘Tales of the Unexpected’, and ‘A Case to Remember’ (a memorable case or one with a message that readers should remember in future). The report on page 106 is an example of the latter – an important reminder that a radiological diagnosis of ‘pneumonia’ does not always imply an infective cause. Finally, I would like to thank those of you who have written with feedback following the previous edition of CPD Acute Medicine. We are clearly attempting to appeal to physicians from a broad range of backgrounds, and I hope that all readers find something which appeals to them in the pages which follow. Please feel free to write with your comments on any issue which you would like to share with the editorial team – depending on the response we may consider including a correspondence section in future editions of the journal.

The Future

In his interesting paper on babeo and aueo published in CQ 66 (1972), 388–98, Dr. A.S. Gratwick raised a number of questions bearing on my own discussion of the origin and development of the babeo+infinitive construction in CQ 65 (1971), 215–31.First the collapse of the earlier future-tense system. As I said, this was ‘the product of a number of different linguistic events’, phonetic, grammatical, and semantic, which were summarized and illustrated on pp. 220–1 of my paper. Even so Dr. Gratwick (p. 397) believes that I assigned too much weight to ‘phonetic attrition of the future simple’.
