NOTE

1. The location of Koryphoula is described as 'Au sud de Kanalia, ... ' (BCH Online, no. 4018) and 'A 11 km de Kanalia, ... ' (BCH Online, no 1039). This seems to have been a rescue operation consequent to the opening of a quarry. I have placed the marker on a quarry that is 10.4 km. by road from Kanalia and just to the S of Lake Karla.
