Description of plates.

Plates 1-74.

Note. — An asterisk indicates objects not previously published. When not otherwise stated all the objects illustrated are preserved in the Hermitage at Leningrad and are reproduced in natural size. The dating of the objects found in Scythia is based upon my own unpublished studies and often differs from what was hitherto accepted. I can only say that I have a good reason in each case. The dating of Siberian antiquities has been inadequately studied; I therefore give an attribution to the Bronze or Iron Age respectively. It may be assumed that all objects from the collection of Peter the Great belong to the latter.
