II is at this point that we are naturally
led to ask how far light has been thrown
on tks question OF language by the recent
remarkable discoveries in Crete. Prof.
Burrows holds that the Photographic and
linear scripts of Knossos on the northern
coast OF that island offer us material in abun-
dance. and that there Is also a certain
amount Of it. though not so much, at Phses-
tos and Hagia Triada, both Of which are
on the south central coast. Unfortunately
we have as yet no means Of turning the
material to account by d~eciphering the
scripts. The intercourse between Crete
and Egypt. close as It long was, was hardly

bilingual inscriptions. IL was, OF course.
