PREFATORY NOTE BY THE COMPILER<br />

It is with deepest gratitude that I acknowledge here my obligations to D r G. F. Hill,<br />

Keeper of <strong>Coins</strong> and Medals in the British Museum, and to Mr. E. S. G.Robinson, one of<br />

the Assistants, for the invaluable assistance they have kindly rendered in answering<br />

frequent queries, solving difficulties, and the latter especially for perusing the complete<br />

catalogue, suggesting corrections, attributing many Incerta, etc. I am also indebted to<br />

my friend M. Michel P. Vlasto of Marseilles, who has kindly revised the portion of<br />

the Catalogue relating to the <strong>coins</strong> of Tarentum; to Mr. E. T. Newell, President of<br />

the American Numismatic Society, New York, who has rearranged the <strong>coins</strong> of Alex-<br />

ander the Great, in accordance with the result of his own study of this subject; to<br />

the Rev. Edgar Rogers, who has classified for me the Seleucidan series ; to Sir Arthur<br />

Evans, the late Dr. F. Imhoof-Blumer, Mr. J. Mavrogordato, M. E. Babelon, M. R. Jame-<br />

son, and other authorities, whose personal help or whose works have greatly facili-<br />

tated my task.<br />

L. FORRER.
