Note.—The writer of this paper has received many
letters, and has often been asked, whether there is any
truth in the statement that seeds taken from the ancient
tombs had been caused to germinate. It may here be
pointed out that this statement was long ago refuted on the
ground of intentional deceit on the part of the gardener
entrusted with the cultivation (see Journ. Bot., Jan., 1879).
Nevertheless, owing to frequent requests, a series of
experiments ''have been tried on the seeds found in the
Hawara cemetery. The seeds have been planted under as
favourable circumstances as possible, but, as yet, the experi-
ments have resulted in absolute failure.

pyramids, but rather that they were courts surrounding
two great pedestals on which statues had stood. This
