PUBLICATIONS ON THE REVOLVING FUND Corinth, Volume XI, 'The Byzantine Pottery," by Charles H. Morgan II was published on March 20, 1943. The completion of this work brings to an end a pro· jeer with which the Committee has been occupied for several years and to which its several members have given considerable time and thought. Corinth, Volume VII, part 1, 'The Geometric and Orientalizing Pottery," by Saul S. Weinberg, is in press as this report is being written. • Both Mr. Morgan and Mr. Weinberg are now in the armed forces, and it is gratifying that their books could be brought to completion while they were still able to give final supervision to them. •The volume was published on May 25, 1943. CORINTH VOLUMES IN PREPARATION Corinth, Volume XII, "Miscellaneous Finds," by Gladys Davidson Weinberg, has been delayed by Mrs. Weinberg's temporary absence from academic life, first with the Greek War Relief Association in New York, and now with a Government agency in Washington . The material for her manuscript and the manuscript itself so far as it has been prepared are being held by the Publications Committee pend· ing the time when Mrs. Weinberg will be able to resume the study and bring it to completion. Corinth, Volume VII, part 2, 'The Potters' Quarter," by Agnes Newhall Still­ well, is still in course of preparation. Mr. Stillwell, as the Committee knows, is on leave from Princeton University and actively engaged in Government work. The necessary change of plans caused by the removal of Mr. and Mrs. Stillwell from Princeton has made it impossible for work on "The Potters' Quarter" to go forward as rapidly as had been anticipated. Once again the inevitable dislocation caused by war activity has brought delay to the publications program. The projected volume on the North Cemetery by Mr. Stephen B. Luce is being studied furth er by Mr. Luce with a view possibly to making its publication available in Hesperia. 36 FINANOAL STATEMENT Hesperia Budgeted Volumes XI, ~ ; XII, Y2 and overhead $ 5,000.00 Index of Volume --- --- --- - --- ---- 4,000.00 Supplement VII (Small Objects from the Pnyx) 2,000.00 TOTALS ----- --------- ----- - $11,000.00 Revolving Publications Ftmd Budgeted Corinth XI (Morgan, "Byzantine Pottery" including $50 for cash expense) --- $ 3,910.00 Corinth XII (Miscellaneous Finds ) 5,000.00 TOTALS ----- --- ---- ----- - - $ 8,910.00 Expended $3,778.12 $3,778.12 Expended $3,488.99 $3,488.99 Balance $1,221.88 4,000.00 2,000.00 $7,221.88 Balance $ 421.01 5,000.00 $5,421.01 The budgeted amount for the Morgan volume was $3,910.00, rather than $4,221.61 as suggested in the last report as an appropriate amount for the completion of the work. Even so, it will be observed that a saving of $421.01 has been ef. fected in the final publication. It is not as yet possible to give a final report on the cost of Weinberg's volume, for which funds were provided last year. Total receipts from the sale of Hesperia and its supplements from April!, 1942, co April 1, 1943, amounted to $1,703.95. Receipts from the sale of books as re­ ported by the Harvard University Press on July 1, 1942, amounted to $961.01. In­ asmuch as the Harvard Press made no report of sales on April 1, 1942, this figure represents a 15-month period. No report came in during the year from Otto Har­ rassowitz in Leipzig. 37
