More than 1800 items from lastI
year's finds of the University's
archeoligical expedition in Meso-
potamia are being currently ex-
hibited in the galleries of the gal-
leries of the Toledo Muesum of Art.
Prof. Leroy Waterman of the Seme-
tics department who is chiefly re-
sponsible for the instigation, promo-
tion and carrying on of the expedi-
tion is now in Babylonia on leave
of absence.
Two .years ago, Professor Water-
man concluded that he has suffi-
cient evidence as to the location of
the important ancient Baylonian
city ;of Opis. Literary references

believe that he could definitely lo-
cate the site of this city, and inas-
much as he was about to go to Bag-
dad as annual professor of the
American School of Oriental Re-!
search, he was in a position to car-
ry on 'definite research work in lo-
cating Opis, provided funds were
available. Xenophon mentions in
his writings that this city was an
important one on the route of
march of his 1,000 Greeks; it was
also known to be one of the wealth-?
iest cities of Babylonian times, dat-
ing from 1800 to 300 B. C.
Having secured funds from To-
ledo Museum of Art's patrons, Pro-
fessor Waterman started out to
