An undertaking has been begun, says the London Academy, which ought to yield results of special interest. This is the removal of sand from around the Sphinx. The Sphinx occupies a position where the encroachment of the desert is most conspicuous. At the present day nothing is bo be seen of the animal except its head and neck; but the old Egyptian_monumente on which it is figured, show not only the entire body down to the paws, but also a large square plinth beneath, covered with ornaments. Since the time of the Greeks, perhaps even since the reign of George IV, this plinth has disappeared beneath the sand, and its very existence had been forgotten. It is generally supposed that the Sphinx is hewn out of a large isolated rock, which overlooked the plain; but M. Maspero's researches suggest that it is a work sill
