make whatever use you please of them. I see no objection to the insertion of the 4 extra site names on the plan for the WS publication. It will be cheaper to print them all the same and only 4 irrelevancies won't matter. (Please check that acknowledgement is made in the text - not on the map- that it is based on Cyprus Govt. Survey as mentioned in prev. corresp.) I should like to have 50 offprints of this map for various purposes, if possible.

I'm glad you liked the Gordion drawings. We endeavour to give satisfaction. I have had a flat reinforced concrete roof put on the upper part of my house and tiles on the single storey portion. Thus we avoid the annual remudation of the old mud roof, leakage and muddy mess in the garden - but it cost me too much! (£450). It is standing up to heavy rain quite satisfactorily. There is a heavy repair programme this year for Curium House. (Chudlua nearly fell through the veranda floor recently)

MERSINOUTHIA sic; the "K" insert is "village" - Christofis says by your order; others have KOURION.

The most recent Curium plans have "KOYRION" — Christofis says by your order; others have KOURION.

Let us know if we can help you in any way. JS
