[60] Such as the goblet represented on p. 70, No. 83. [61] _To each object is attached a number denoting the exact depth in meters at which it was found; so e.g. 3½ M. means 3½ meters; each meter has about 3⅓ feet. I call particular attention to this._ In order to retain the precision of these numbers, and to avoid the labour and chance of error in converting them into feet and inches, a comparative table of French and English measures is prefixed to the book. [62] See p. 13, and the coloured Plate A, fig. c. [63] These are exactly like the whorls found at Mycenæ. See No. 15. [Illustration: No. 15. Stone Whorl, found at Mycenæ. (5 M.)
