In a lecture on the History of Mummification in Egypt delivered in
May, 1910, Prof. Elliot Smith traces the invention of artifioial mummifying
to the fact that as the civilisation developed the more elaborate entombments
tended to the destruction of the corpse by air and damp, whereas the
simple laying of the body in bot and dry sand of the earliest times had
been a perfect preservative. He quotes a number of instances winch bave
lately corne to ligbt of embalmment dating from the Old Kingdom, and
figures a bead of the Vth Dynasty encased in a resinous paste coming
from Dr. Eeisner's excavations at Giza. Proc. Boy. Philosophical Soc. of
Glasgow.

two brotbers in very fine préservation. Dr. Jolm Gameeon and five
otber scientists examine the mummified bodies, the chemical constituents
of the mummies, the colouring matter and texture of the linen wrappings,
and Miss M. A. MURRAY as an Egyptologist edits the inscriptions and the
