SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
[Notice in this column does not necessarily preclude subsequent review-[ The Year's Work in Classical Studies, 1911. Edited by S. Gaselee. (J. Murray. 2s. 6d. net.)—It is creditable to British scholars that the Classical Association's useful yearly bulletin should continue to appear. The editor himself is immersed in war work, and some of the contributors are, we believe, equally busy, but the bulletin is none the less comprehensiva in matt branches of the subject. Profeasor Van Buren, of the Ameriern • The Man who Lod himself. By 11, de Vero Steepeele. London : eutelamit and CO. ICS.] Academy in Rome—the only non-British contributor—shows what admirable work Italian archaeologists have continued to do through- out the war both in Italy and in Tripoli. He describes the astonish- ing subterranean temple accidentally found in Rome last year. Miss Jane Harrison's article on recent work on Greek religion and mythology is notable for her tribute to Professor Bendel Harris's ingenious essays on the origin of Olympian cults, identifying Dionysos with the ivy, Apollo with the apple-tree, and so on.
