both in position and development the pre-orbital muscular de- 

 pression that exists in some skulls of recent Equidae. Mr Pocock 

 points out that in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons 

 there are skulls of two stallion quaggas and in neither of them is a 

 trace of the depression perceptible. 



P. 97. British Chariots. There are the remains of two 

 chariots in the British Museum, and Mr R. A. Smith, of the 

 Department of Prehistoric British and Medieval Antiquities and 

 Ethnography, has kindly given me the following measurements of 

 their tires. 



1. Arras (Green well, British Barroivs, p. 455). These are in 

 diameter 2 feet 10 inches; in width 1| inches. 



2. Beverley (British Barroivs, p. 456). The tires are in 

 diameter 2 feet 8-9 inches, and in width 1| inches. 



P. 100. Mr R. A. Smith has kindly given me the measurements 

 of the tires of a Gaulish chariot from Somme Bionne now in the 

 British Museum (Morel, La Chamjxigne Souterraine, p. 29). The 

 tires are 36 inches in diameter, and in width one and one-fifth inch. 

 Canon Greenwell's measurements for the Arras specimen are not 

 quite the same, but rust and distortion render any measurements 

 merely approximate. 



P. 218. No representations of Egyptians on horse- 

 back. Though no Egyptians are ever seen on horseback my 

 friend Dr Garstang has just called my attention to the fact that 

 on the outer North Wall at Karnak, which has been lately cleaned 

 by Mr Legrain for the Egyptian Government, in the picture of 

 Seti I that monarch is seen in pursuit of the " vile Kheta " 

 (Hittites). He himself is in his chariot (cf. p. 217), but some of 

 his fleeing enemies are riding on horseback. It does not of course 

 follow that because fugitives are seen on horseback they habitually 

 rode, for in their flight they might well cut loose the horses from 

 the chariots, and leap on their backs as did Odysseus and Diomede 

 after the capture of the steeds of Rhesus (p. 109). It is quite 

 possible, as I have said, that some of the Asiatic peoples who kept 

 horses may have ridden on horseback from the first, but as the 

 Hittites were using - war-chariots several centuries later than the 

 time of Seti I (cf. p. 215), it is not very probable that they habitually 

 rode on horseback in the time of that king. 



P. 236. With reference to my argument that the xviith and 

 xviiith dynasties were Libyan in origin, my friend Mr F. W. Green
