THE Second Volume of the "Catalogue of the Cuneiform Tablets in the Kouyunjik Collection" contains the description of 5971 tablets and fragments (K. 2191-8162), and is the work of DR. BEZOLD.

P. LE PAGE RENOUF. 13th October, 1891.

PREFACE. IN the preparation of this Volume of the "Catalogue of the Cuneiform Tablets in the Kouyunjik Collection," the plan followed in the first Volume has been somewhat modified: 1. The details of form and state of preservation of the tablets and the writing have been omitted, and unless otherwise stated the writing is Assyrian. 2. To indicate the number of lines and columns on the tablets a special system has been adopted, e.g.a. "12 + 11 lines," i.e., 12 lines on obverse and 11 on reverse; b. "32 + 32 + 31 + 17 + 12 + 16 lines," i.e., the number of lines in a tablet of six columns, three on each side; c. "10 +.....lines," i.e., 10 lines on obverse, the reverse lost; d. "9 lines," i.e., 9 lines on obverse; the reverse blank; e. 5 + 7 lines," i.e., 5 lines on obverse and 7 on reverse; but the minus sign is added to indicate the possibility of the 7 lines being on the obverse and the 5 on the reverse; f. < ... . "i.e., the loss of two or more columns. The entire collection of tablets from Kouyunjik has been carefully examined, and parallel texts, duplicates and completing portions have been indicated. The "Index to the Cuneiform Inscriptions of Western Asia," with additional and revised register-numbers, has been appended. C. BEZOLD. LONDON, 9th October, 1891.
