KHATA'NEH AND TELL ROTAB—MISCELLANEA.

with flattened base. 20 occurred also at Tell el Yahudiyeh,
PI. xi. 11. Probably this class is of a distinct period from
the polished ware.
25 and 26 are of red ware slightly polished.
The most curious vase is 13, very pale olive, slightly
polished. The pattern, three palm branches hanging down
from the mouth, is painted on in a dark brown glaze.
There are many flint flakes, a few being toothed as
saws. Also a fragment of bronze.
Another bronze object, fig. 27, is apparently from tbese
tombs. It is hollow, with chisel-shaped edge: traces of wood
remain in the socket.
Also, a beautiful globular bead of dark amethyst, diam. |
inch. Bead of dark variegated limestone, flattened barrel
sbape, | inch long.
The scarab 10 seems to be of brilliant clear white glass ; a
most remarkable early imitation of rock crystal. The bore,
which is now tinged with verdigris, is carefully made askew.
The slight oxydisation of the surface, however, suggests the
vitreous nature of the material.
A portion of the bowl of a spoon in haematite, and a small
kohl-pot in hard stone.
Of later work there is half of a plaque1 with the cartouche
of one of the kings named Merenptah, perhaps Seti II., in
glazed ware. The ground colour is brownish, the hieroglyphs
and lines white, PI. xix. 28.
From Tell abu'l FuUs, near Khata'neh : some pottery,
apparently of Roman date : and a fragment of a large glazed
tile with the hawk from the Ka-title of a king moulded upon
it; on the back is a potter's mark, viz. two notches at the
edge and a portion of another mark.
From Qantir I publish 29, the inscribed trough men-
tioned in a former memoir.2
From Tell Rotdb 3 are three implements in bronze ; 30, a

PI. xvii. 22. Hare in pale blue glazed pottery, remarkably
fine. The ware suggests XXVIth dynasty, but the style
and short ears are perhaps against it. Purchased by M.
Naville at Shibin el Qanatir: said by the vendor to have
been found at Zagazig.

chased by M. Naville at Semmennud; figured also Petrie,
