ra. The group 26-28 is probably of early xviiith
dynasty. A large group, 290, nos. 29-40, is certainly
early, the latest style being that of 35, which need
not be after Tahutmes I (see Gisek and Rijeh, xxiii,
20, and xxvii, M). 41 might be of xiith dynasty.
42 is a double scarab on the back, and might be
before the xviiith. Group 230, nos. 43-48, has early
connections in 43, 44, and 45 ; and 48 is not to be
confused with the Akhenaten princess Ankhs-pa-
aten or Amen-ankh-s, " Amen in her life," as it reads
Amen-s-ankh, "Amen makes alive." The following
numbers, 49-58, are all before the Amenhotep III
age- 59 is a large sard scarab with drilled holes
in the base. 60-64 are a group (288) in which the
chariot group suggests the pictorial style of Amen-
hotep III.
65, 66 may well be later than Tahutmes III,
whose name they bear. The group 265, nos. 67-72,
was found with the green glazed kohl-pot with
open-work khaker ornament, and serve to date
that to Amenhotep III. Nos. 73-85 are probably
of the later xviiith dynasty. The great tomb of
Apiy was made in the reign of Akhenaten, as shewn
by his title " keeper of the estates of the temple
of Aten," but it continued to be used for burials
down to the xxvth dynasty. The scarabs and rings
found mixed together in the chambers are at least
as early as Ay (ring 93), and some may be earlier,
as ring 85, scarabs 87, 88, 89, 90. Other scarabs,
as 98, 99, are of Rameses II, and 94-97, 100-105
may well be as late.
106 is of Rameses II or III, and dates 108, 109,
but 107 found with these seems more likely to be
of earlier age and re-used. A similar one, no, was
found in a late group with 111-112 which border
on the style of the xxiind. The ka arms, 114, is
a rather rare amulet. 115 is a fly of carnelian,
and 116 a crocodile of chalcedony, found with a
group of pale green uzat eyes, roughly made of
pottery, with designs 117-120; the style of these
might be anywhere between the xxist and xxvth
dynasties. The group 226 cannot be put before
the xxiiird dynasty by no. 124, but no. 121 seems
to be an earlier disc of Amenhotep III set in gold,
probably re-used. No. 126 is of the xxiind by the
late amulets of Bast found with it. No. 127 was
with a large group of blue glazed figures and vases
(pi. xix, no. 2), which cannot be before the xxvth
dynasty or later; the scarab however is too good
for the xxvith dynasty. Peduasar—Petosiris, 128,
might, by the name, be of the late xxiind dynasty,
or any time after. No. 129 is a large deeply cut
oval, engraved on both sides, covered with dull
green glaze, probably late, as also 129. The uraeus
scarabs 131-134 seem akin to the cut scarabs prob-
ably of the Ethiopian period, but may be earlier.
Nos. 135, 136 are of Psamthek I. 137 js from
Memphis. \y. m. F. P.
47. PL xix, no. 1. Pottery coffin from grave 407,
cemetery D. A large number of such were found|
some of them being quite plain, the majority, how-
ever, being painted in black, blue, red and yellow.
These pottery coffins, in the xixth dynasty, were
by no means confined to the lower classes, as some
of the burials contained very good amulets, and the
bodies were well mummified. Few of them had
escaped the attentions of the plunderers.

MISCELLANEOUS AND LATE OBJECTS
48. PLATE XIX, no. 2. Part of a group of
xxiiird-xxvth dynasty objects, found close to the
surface in a deposit in cemetery B. The two central
pots are of good blue glaze. The group consists
of three varieties of uzat eyes, three alabaster vases,
one scarab, one pendant, some disc beads of shell,
and amulets of Thoth, Isis, Bast, Shu, Horus, Ptah-
Seker, Ape of Thoth, and the papyrus sceptre. The
group is now in the possession of the Egyptian
Research Students' Association. A drawing of the
alabasters and pots, to a scale of one-third, is to
be found on pi. xxii, no. 25. PI. xix, no. 3. Photo-
graph of the jamb of Apiy. A drawing of this to
a scale of one-fourth is given on pi. xv, no. 1.

49. No. 5. Clothes-box of Ptolemaic date used
for an infant's burial, from a grave in the east side
of the hill of cemetery A. The box was fastened
with a bronze catch and had been bound round with

and Art Gallery, Bristol. No. 6. Infant's burial
from grave 269, cemetery E, of the xxiiird dynasty.
Within the coffin were four pomegranates, and at the
feet of the coffin was the pot shewn, the neck being
tied up with some coarse string.
The burial is now in the British Museum.
