There is no journal exclusively devoted to reports of discoveries in Babylonia and Assyria {like Ancie?it Egypt above), but see the new journal of the American Archaeological Institute, called Art and Archceology (^2.00 a year; subscriptions taken by The Macmillan Company, 64-66 Fifth Avenue, New York).

The buildings surviving in Babylonia and Assyria are in a state so ruinous that photographs of them would not be instructive to the young student (see pp. 63 f. and 82 ; cf. Fig. 47).
