128 FLORA OF ASSYRIAN MONUMENTS. 



In the Babylonian and Oriental Record for February, 

 1889, vol. iii, No. 3, p. 57, I called attention to the 

 relationship of the ' fleur-de-lys ' with the ' luck-horns ' 

 of the Assyrian sacred trees ; and under that heading 

 in these papers, I have, I think, shown unmistakably 

 the derivation of that heraldic emblem from the ' luck- 

 horns ' of Assyria.
