Note on the horns of Hathor. Andeesson and Lefebure, Sphinx, xii. 48.
Daeessy recognises an omphalos (?) form of Ammon, or bag with head
protruding, supported on a lion throne, in three late monuments from the
cachette of Karnak : the same is figured in a Eoman relief at Medinet

and even to the present day. Liverpool Annals, ii. 49.
The name of the Phoenix (heron) probably pronounced loin. Sethe, A.Z.

Studies, xxix. 79.
Literature.
Hermann Banke has contributed to Geessmann's Altorientaliselie Texte

C. S. Myers publishes his general conclusions as a sequel to special
studies in Egyptian anthropometry. He finds the population of the present
day equally variable throughout, but with a greater tendency to negroid
