Barsauti in the restorations, and of Herr Borcbardt, commissioned by
the Berlin Academy to study the temples, for valuable suggestions.

M. de Morgan gives an interesting resume of his brilliant and successful
researches in various parts of Egypt from 1892-4 (Oongr. Geneva, iv.).
Daressy gives an account of explorations and excavations in the year
