33 and 36 show the open ends. 34 shows the
Other end, which was closed. 32 and 35 show

and are made with the artistic finish and care so
characteristic of the Xllth Dynasty.

92. PL xliii, 1, shows a view of the end of
the pole-roof chamber ; the two men are seated
on the piles of rubbish with which it was
nearly filled. Above the.one to the right is the
hole smashed through the ceiling in order to
reach the passage on the level above.
2 is a view of the first granite plug from the
plugged passage, This is the one that was
dropped into the room by digging under it.
3 gives a view of some of the walls and
passages in the Aahmes toAvn. The dark shadow
in the centre falls across I of house 1. The
streak of light that divides the shadow is the
door into room D of house 1.
PL xliv, 1-5. Forms restored from fragments
found in the tomb of Senusert III.
The forms from the Aahmes town are likewise
restored from fragments.
PL xlv, 1, shows the entrance A and the
gate into B. The sloping way C can also be
seen. The gateway to the right is the one from
B 1 into the first terrace. 2, in front of which
the Abadi boy is standing, shows how the bricks
cf the lower part of the Avail are less Avorn than
those higher up. ThisAvas no doubt due to the
banking up of sand against the loAver part of the
Avail.
3 gives a very good idea of how the pots of
the corner deposit lay.
4 is the north end of the second Avail and the
north side of the brick wall.
5 is taken from the room G, and shoAvs the
sloping ascent and the men at Avork on the first
terrace.
