secure, after many consultations with the most competent Egyptolo- 

 o-ists, and especially with Dr. Alan Gardiner, the services of Mr. 

 Ernest Mackay, for many years chief assistant of Professor Flinders

 tion, excavation, restoration, and preservation of these chapels. 



Durinii: the past year he has already succeeded in accomplishing 

 most notable results, as will be apparent to you from the photographs 

 which he has taken and Avhich I have submitted to you to-night. 



I have also the most sincere appreciation of the kindness of Sir 

 Gaston Maspero and the Egyptian Government Service for the 

 liberality with which they have granted me facilities and unhampered 

 liberty to prosecute this work.
