In the very important Delian inscriptions of which one is published by M. Homolle in the sixth volume of the Bulletin dc Correspondance Hellénique, mention is made among the votive offerings preserved in the temple of Apollo of several sorts of coins. In his comments upon these mentions, both in the inscription which he publishes, and in others which he has read and copied, M. Homolle is less correct than in other parts of his very valuable paper; numismatics being a branch of archaeology in regard to which excellent scholars are sometimes strangely ill-informed. It may perhaps be of some service, in view of M. Homolle's further publications in the same line which may be shortly expected, to insert here a few notes on the votive coins of his Delian lists; and so contribute a little to the full success of his very important labours.
