DIR. SchIiemann's Forthcoming Work.
From the London Athenaum.
Great curiosity is felt regarding DIR. Schie-
mann's forthcoming work on Tiryus just an-
nounced by Mr.. Murray. 1t Is well known that
the work was printed i'm its four simultaneous
editions, for England, France, Germany, and

DIR. Dorpfeid. The result of these discoveries
were telegraphed to the author during his visit
TO England in the early part of the summer,
when some account of them was given in the
Athen9uDa. 1t was hoped that these new dis
coveries might have been dealt with in an ap-
pendix or fresh chapter, but the recent revela-
lions have necessitated the preparing of quite a
different ground plan from that already printed.
The workmen have now struck u deeper level,
and laid bare the walls Ofbuildings of an earlier
date than any hitherto suspected. How the
difficulty is got over will presently appear.
