question from the inquiry into the amount OF

| Hellenic settlements on the coast OF Asia Minor
as the products OF colonization. In one sense
they all were so. but Mr.. Abbott draws q Just
distinction between the wholesale transmarine
migratlons from the Greek mainland caused
by the Dorian invasion. with the consequent
perturbations and tho deliberate output OF
colonies lin the strict Hellenic meaning OF the
| world which took place about three centuries
| later-that Is TO say, in the eighth century
| B. c. As regards the migratons proper
las distinguished from the subsequent col
| oniosl. these and the resultant settlements nre
distributed by Mr.. Abbott. as by other Greek
| historians. in three great divisions or tribes.
| The northern islands and the northernmost sec-
| tion OF the Anatolian seacoast were occupied
| by the so-called lEoians. who, in the authors
| view. we're not O homogeneous tribe or people.
| but "a mixed multitude In which Locrians,
Maenetes, and BGotians were united with the
ancient Aohaians Of Peloponnesus. 1t is pos-
| sible that they did not receive their distinctive
name till gathered together In the common en-
terprise OF colonization" In the islands and
| AnRtolian coast tracts next on tho south tho
| migrating Jonians found new abodes. But the
| conquering Dorians were not content with the
| homes which they had wrested from the origl-
nal occupants in central Greece and Peloponne-
| sus. They also became infected with the spirit
| OF transmarine migration, and to them foil the
southern part OF the coast OF Asia Minor and
the southernmost islands Of the Egean. which
