The memoir on Lord Northampton's excavations in 1898-9 at Qurna
and Drah abu'l Negga has been issued. The text is mostly the work of
Newbeery and Spiegelbebg. From the tomb of Nebamen (through which
the spoilers entered the pyramid of Sebekemsaf, according to the Abbott
Papyrus) a scene is published of swine trampling in the sown grain, as
described by Herodotus. There is an important section on shawabti
figures, which in early times represented the deceased person himself as a
mummy : a large collection of early shawabti texts is published here.

work for many years). A scientific record of the characteristics of the
burials made from the full records of each grave. Dr. Eeisnee gives the
