Dr. Robinson, director of the Metro

has Identified an antique marble bust,
which has been in the museum's store
room for 20 or 30 years, as being a
portrait of Herodotus, "the father of
history." The marble, which has lain
In dust nil these years, will now as
sume an Important place of honor In
the Institution.
There are but five known portrnlts
of Herodotus. The New York portrait
bust was originally found at Henha,
In Lower Egypt, and passed Into the
possession of Emll lirugsch Bey, from
whom It was acquired and presented
to the Metropolitan Museum of Ans.
The recognition was based on the re
semblance of the known portraits and
the finding of the learned man's name
Inscribed upon It. As a work of art It
was not very highly regarded, but as
the sixth known portrait of Herodotus
It assumes new dignity. It Is also said
to be one of the best portraits extniit.
