st-rate importance in helping to establish thechronological periods of Egyptian history. Everymuseum of such antiquities must now possess itscabinet of scarabs. I have found scarab-hunting by the Nile a mostenjoyable pastime, especially, as has often been mygood fortune, when I had, at no very great distance,my friends Dr. Petrie or Professor Sayce to supplyan identification or clear up the doubtful reading ofsome new find. The friendly sympathy of suchexperts is encouraging to one who does not possesssuch ripe knowledge himself, and deserves the deepestgratitude. X THE SACRED BEETLE. In addition to my own collecting I have beenindebted for some good specimens to several kindfriends. My earliest helper was the Rev. W. J.Loftie, the latest Mr. George Fraser, to both of whommy thanks are tendered. Mr. W. Harry Rylands,F.S.A., aided me greatly in helping the workthrough the press, while Dr. Wallis Budge kindlypermitted me to borrow some important matter fromhis remarkable book The Mummy.
