The Nature and Function of Private International Law
“Gentlemen, this subject is very important. I have earned 15000 ducats by opinions given in this matter” (Baldus); 1 “the nature of the conflict of laws is a dismal swamp, filled with quaking quagmires and inhabited by learned but eccentric professors who theorize about mysterious matters in a strange and incomprehensible jargon. The ordinary court or lawyer is quite lost when engulfed or entangled in it.” 2

island KaOSos, off the south coast of Crete; the phrase will mean ' Governor of Kaudos,' and this inscription will prove that Sparta in the second century governed Kaudos as well as Kythera and Koroneia. Robert brings the same acumen to Byzantine astrological texts and glossaries as to inscriptions—e.g., in his discussion on snake-charmers, StipioSeTiorai (pp. I32ff.)( and in his neat conjecture (p. 143) of TrapccoKaiplTris ' bargee ' for the unsuitable TrapccaKotplTTis. On pp. 121 ff. we have a neat onomastic and geographical study on the name nrrpccTos, which, as Robert shows, is not only the Thessalian theophoric name, but also an ethnic from Petra in Crete. An inscription (pp. 95 ff.) from Epirus, N.W. of Jannina, furnishes the starting-point of another geographical excursus, with evidence from Varro, Virgil, and Pausanias, on the position of Epirote Pergamum, whose existence P-W has ignored. Robert's friends in this country will be glad that he has been able to continue working during the dark years of the war, and will look forward eagerly to the appearance of the next volume of Hellenica, as well as of another of the major works he has on hand. Is it too much to hope that soon scholars may be able to buy for themselves a copy of Hellenica, and of the many other French books we have waited for for so many years ? J. M. R. CORMACK
Meromorphic function sharing a small function with a homogeneous differential polynomial
Abstract In this paper, we consider a Brück-type result for a homogeneous differential polynomial generated by a meromorphic function.
