The Committee of the Asia Minor Exploration Fund appeal for
more money to undertake excavations at Lystra and Derbe, in Asia Minor, and on the right or western bank of the Euphrates, where they hope to find remains of the Roman defences. They ask for 22,000, and, if they get it, the exploring expedition would be conducted by Pro- fessor Ramsay, who has already obtained such valuable results of his recent explorations, and by Mr. Hogarth. If they can obtain as much as 2750, they will begin their explorations at Lystra, where the remains• of the Temple of Jupiter "before the walls" should be discover- able,—the temple in which worship was offered to Paul and Barnabas. But it would be very desirable to collect at least 22,000, which would enable the Committee to set on foot a larger plan of operations. By these fragments of the past which explorers recover for us, we enlarge more than most men realise the significance and interests of our own lives. Donations may be sent either to the "Asia Minor Exploration Fund," care of Messrs. Robarts, Lubbock, and Co., Lombard Street, E.G., or to the honorary secretary, George A. Mac- millan, Esq., 29 Bedford Street, Covent Garden, London, W.C.
