PREFACE.

IN the preparation of this Volume of the "Catalogue of the CuneiformTablets in the Kouyunjik Collection," the plan followed in the first Volumehas been somewhat modified:

1. The details of form and state of preservation of the tablets andthe writing have been omitted, and unless otherwise stated thewriting is Assyrian.

2. To indicate the number of lines and columns on the tablets a specialsystem 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 oflines in a tablet of six columns, three on each side;

c. "10 +.....lines," i.e., 10 lines on obverse, the reverselost;

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; butthe minus sign is added to indicate the possibility of the7 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 carefullyexamined, and parallel texts, duplicates and completing portions havebeen indicated.

The "Index to the Cuneiform Inscriptions of Western Asia," withadditional and revised register-numbers, has been appended.
