plateau, and collecting very rude palaeolithic flints there, he moved to
Tell el Maskhuta. On further exploring the store chambers there he
found that the chambers were more systematic than was supposed ; and by

or Naukratis. The age of this has yet to be fixed. He also found a new
sfela of Darius by the ancient canal, the most westerly yet known.
" In connection with our work, Mr. Montagu Porch joined us in travelling
to Sinai and searching for wrought flint implements. He obtained some
good evidences of man of the pluvial age, and then went on to Upper
Egypt, where he collected a great quantity of specimens, carefully recording
the levels at which each was found. These he has distributed to various
museums."
Mr. Carter, whose time has been almost entirely absorbed in organising
his new province, which is centred at Tanta, tells us of an important find
made in the sebakh work at Tukh el Qaramus. "It consists of some
117 oz3. of Greek gold jewellery and coins of Ptolemy Soter and the early
part of the reign of Philadelphus ; together with silver coins of the same
date, two large silver incense burners, and an altar service in silver. The
whole find, now placed in the Museum, is exceedingly fine and of great
importance. Edgar will help me to publish it. Beyond this I have
really nothing to send you."
