A minute fungus observed in 1898 to be usually present in seeds of the
rye grass (Lolium temulentum) has been found by Gr. Lindau in examples
of the same plant from the hoard of grain discovered by Boechabdt in a
grave of the Middle Kingdom at Abusir. Berl. Akad. Sitzungsb. 1904,

Prehistoric Archaeology.
In 1902 the geologist Blanckexhor.v wrote on the history of the Nile
valley during the Tertiary and Quaternary periods, and of Prehistoric man
in Egypt. His paper was illustrated with five maps showing the configura-
tion of the land and river at different geological epochs, and a sketch map
of the western hills at Thebes where the " palaeolithic" deposits are
found. Be considers that much more work by geologists and anthropolo-
gists is needed to establish the evidences of Palaeolithic man in Egypt at
different epochs. Zeitsch. d. Ges. fur Erdkunde 1902, G94, 753. This and
other articles, etc., on the geology and prehistoric archaeology of Egypt
are reviewed by ScHWEDfFUBTH in Petermanu's Geogr. Mitteilungen,
1903, Heft. xi.
Schweinfurth continues his studies of the stone age in Upper Egypt.
