PI. xiv. Top row. The groups are more complete in Hay's copy: that at the right-hand end has been cut short
in the printing.

Bows 4-5. On comparison with Hay's two copies, many details appear to be missing or incorrect. The perpendicular
lines of the fortress walls should not be carried down to the base : several daggers, girdle ties, an axe, &c, are missing.

Bow. 6. Small inscription over funeral barge, read '=jCj'=| ^ ^ a% (Hay).

PI. xvi. The boats are more perfect in Hay's copy. In the middle of the fourth row a sheaf of arrows is lying on
the ground, placed vertically between the archer and the man with a battle-axe.

PI. xvii. A few details were more perfect in the descriptive table of the offerings; near the middle (17th line from

left in lower row) read Q I " . (Hay).
