,Tembs of the Third Egyptian Dynasty. By John Garstang, B.A.

(A. Constable and Co. 21s. net.)—The excavations which resulted in the discoveries here recorded were carried on in the province of Girgeh, about a hundred miles north of Thebes, the probable date of the remains being, to speak roughly, about 2700 B.C. The objects found show a stone age not very remote; flint implements are used for religious purposes ; copper is worked in a consider- able amount. The details of the excavations are, of course, too numerous to specify. We may say that they are most carefully set forth in this volume, and amply illustrated.
