The Report on the Human Remains found by the Archaeological Survey
of Nubia in 1907-8, by Drs. Elliot Smith and Wood Jones, parallel to
Dr. Keisner's report on the Archaeology, has been issued in two volumes
of text and plates respectively. It deals with the racial problem, modes
of embalming and burial, the method of determining the age and sex from
bones (apparently a matter of extreme difficulty), pathology, fractures, etc.

necessarily be of extraordinary importance. There is also a bibliography
and precis of all the literature concerning Nubia.
