INTRODUCTORY NOTE.
SINCE the publication of the first part of this study
in the Numismatic Chronicle, and after the following
pages were practically ready for the press, there
appeared in the Journal of the American Numismatic
Society a monograph by Miss A. Baldwin on the
Electrum and Silver Coins of Chios issued during the
sixth, fifth, and fourth centuries B.C.
The author has here brought together such a wealth
of material, and stated her conclusions in so clear
and concise a manner, that I felt on first seeing the
paper that it would be a work of supererogation to go
over the same ground again. As the present article,
however, is only a portion
of the whole task that
I have set myself, I have decided, with the kind permission
and encouragement of the Editors, to entrust
it to the Numismatic Chronicle as originally intended.
In doing so I have now the advantage of Miss Baldwin's
researches, which not only covered a wider field than my
own, but record a greater number of types than mine
do even from sources explored by us both. This is
especially
noticeable in the case of the didrachms
