ac important as that of the dominance of religious order-and in ancient Egypt that period
is represented by the rule of the priesthood of Amen-Ro of Thobes.
This remarkable confraternity, Rising from com- paratire obscurity, for more than three centuries was the governing power of Egypt. the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dy- During nasties tho Pharaohs ruled, but rather as. the officials of the Theban order. To this community nearly all the Theban nobles and their wives belonged, and their influence must have made them the Jesuits of Egypt
In 1983 the Khedive of Egyps presented the Messum with a num- hor of coffins of the members of this college, obtained from the great discovery of mum-
cies at Der vibubari (Thebes). One of the Last examples is the mamany of Kalebet, a priestess of Amen. On the wooden hands attached to the figure are rings made of precious stones, and the bracelets on the hands are painted in. To the same periods belong the fine mummy and softin of Awen ari-arit, the private secretary of Queen Amonarcas, Queen of the Ethiopian King Piankhi. Of the Later Theban period a fine example is exbibited in the coffin and mu my of Sexhep-ceshat, which was presented by the Prince of Wales: The collection is also rich in mummias of the later periods of the Greco-Roman age in Egypt." Dar- ing the second and third centuries of our ers it was the custom to paint a portrait on a board, and to bind it over the face of the mummy. The bast кресімен here exhibited is that of Artemidorus (4.p. 200), a Greek settler in Egypt. It is beanu- tifully painted, and may be well compared with
thres family portraita in the "samo ease, which are certainly the most perfect instance of Greco-Roman portrait painting. ↑ WTostock, Beneath the picture is the inscription, fokie 30.06 *Artemidorus's farewell. The latest exam- ple in the collection is that of an unknown female, which with

In concluding the notico of thin interesting and carefully arranged collection, we can only say that as the stadent passes from dynasty to dynasty it is easy to see how the symbolism of the ancient Book of the Dend gradumily became lost; and in Christian times, al- though used, ita menning was completely unknown. Tho matamies, thanks to this new guido, are no longer mere curios, but suggestive tachers as 'to an important phase in the religions history of the world.
