On the left side the skin of the breast has been in part removed to show the packing material. On the right side the packing in the mamma has been removed with the skin so as to demonstrate the path by which the pebbly sand was introduced under the skin of the breast from the abdominal cavity.

Figure 2.-The perinaeum and thighs of the mummy of an old woman. The skin of the thighs has been removed so as to reveal the large cavities traversed by the two femora and tightly packed with mud.

The skin has been removed from the most prominent part of the mons Veneris so as to demonstrate the linen packing to which its fulness is due.

The rima pudendi is occupied by linen pushed into the cleft from the pelvic side.

PLATE IX.

Figure 1.-The back of the head and shoulders of the mummy of an old

woman.

A sore (?bedsore) has been covered over by a square piece of leather. Figure 2.-The buttocks of the same mummy. A large sheet of leather hides two large ulcers (? bedsores).

Figure 3.-The back of the shoulders of a mummy from which the skin has been partly removed to show a pad of linen pushed underneath the skin from an incision near the acromion.

Figure 4.-The rest of the back of the same mummy. Two large streams of mud can be seen proceeding from the wound in the left flank, one into each buttock. The skin has been removed from the surface of the mud.

PLATE X.

Figure 1.-An oblique view of the left flank of the mummy shown in Pl. VII, fig. 1, after removing the left arm. Part of the wax plate covering the embalming wound has been left in situ, but its upper part has been removed to show the wound and the places from which the packing was introduced (4) in front of the chest (see Pl. VII, figure 1) and (B) into the back (Pl. IX, figure 4).

Figure 2.-A transverse section across the thorax to show the mud packed between the vertebral column and the skin of the back.

Figure 3 and 4.-Sections through the neck to show mud and pebbly sand respectively packed in front of the vertebral column so as to distend the skin of the neck.

Figure 5.-A section through the knee joint exposing the upper end of the tibia and the semilunar cartilages. A large quantity of mud is seen packed under the skin behind the knee.

PLATE XI.

Figure 1.-A long incision has been made on the inner side of the leg for the purpose of stuffing the front and the back of the leg with linen. The wound has been carelessly sewn up with a running thread.

Figure 2.-The soles of the feet showing incisions between the great and second toes.

Figure 3.-The sole of the foot showing a crescentic incision around the heel.

Figure 4.-A hand exhibiting annular depressions around the fingers. These are caused by string wound around the fingers to keep the epidermis and nails in position.

Figure 5 was intended to show the string in position on the toes, but unfortunately all the detail has been lost in the process of reproduction.

PLATE XII.

This photograph is intended to demonstrate the appearance of a gaping shoulder incision, through which linen has been pushed inward (note the bulging in the axilla) and downward into the arm. The surface of the linen exposed in the opening is thickly smeared with a resinous paste.

The neck is tightly stuffed with the white material supposed to be a mixture of "butter" and soda. The breaking away of some of the brittle skin has exposed this white substance.

PLATE XIII.

Figure 1.—In this mummy the linen packing is seen around the left shoulder and in the right arm beyond the elbow.

The neck is packed with "butter" and soda.

Figure 2.-The right half of the lower jaw has been removed and is seen to the left of the head with the linen-packing of the mouth attached to

it. The wall of the right nostril has been removed to expose a calculus (?vesical) lying in it.

The butter-packing has run down into the thorax from the neck. Figure 3.-The liver of the mummy of a priestess, showing the gallbladder distended with more than 30 gall-stones.

Figure 2 shows an onion placed over the ear.

Figure 3.-The heart and aorta are exposed. Very coarse wooden chips. are used for packing the body-cavity.

PLATE XV.

Figure 1.-This photograph shows the embalming wound (sewn up with thread) placed unusually far forward in front of the body.

The body cavity of this mummy was opened since this memoir has been printed. It differed from all the rest of the series in as much âs the body contained nothing but sawdust, even the heart having been removed.

Figure 2.-An oblique view of the pelvic cavity of a mummy containing a large onion, seen from above. (The vertebral column is seen leading to the left upper corner of the photograph).

PLATE XVI.

Figure 1.-In this mummy the greater part of the right arm and the whole of the front of the body wall has been removed. The parcels of viscera (wrapped in linen) are shown in their undisturbed condition, the sawdust packing having been removed by means of a bellows.

Fiqure 1.-A set of the four funerary Genii, made of wax, each wrapped in a viscus: at the upper left corner is the liver, part of it being broken

off to expose the human head of Amset; below this is a parcel of intestines with the Hawk-headed figure; on the upper right side is the Baboon wrapped in a lung and below it the Jackal wrapped in the stomach. The scale is in centimetres.
