ON THE NAiIE3 ON THE LIST OF TIIOTIIMES HI. 321 



Captiiln CJuutle Relgnier CuuJei", E.E., so well known for his; labours in 

 connexion with the exploration of Palestine, writes as follows : —

"I bc<,' to thank the Council of the Victoria Institute for their kind 

 invitation and recognition of my work. 



"I have not rrot my revised paper on the Lists of Karnak with mc. I 

 have put down such suwestions as occur to me, and tind thatjM. Maspero 

 agrees witli me as to the district in which the names lie, and, in twenty 

 cases out of sixty, as to the exact site. He adopts those sug<4estions which 

 I liazarded in 187(5, ]S79, and 1881, even when they do not agree 

 with JNIariette in several very important instances, and I am nuicli pleased 

 thus to be supported l)y so great an authority. I note, however, a few 

 slips ia his paper, and I think some of his new proposals will hardly meet 

 Milh general acceptance. This is a small matter compared with the general 

 accord as to the district indicated by the list. 



" I am sorry my duties will not allow me to be present to morrow night 

 and hope this may reach you in time. 



" Yours trulv,

Bi'iiiarl-s oil, the Gcoynqihical Lids of Kaiiud ; — I feel highly gratified 

 at the notice taken of my paper on the Lists of Thothmes IIL by so 

 eminent an authority as M. Maspero, and by his adoption of some of 

 my suggestions. The subject is, of course, one of great difficulty, as a mere 

 list only indicates position on the assumption of consecutive order. M. 

 Maspero does not seem to have seeii my amended paper on the subject, 

 published in the Memoirs of the Siirvejj of Western Palesti)ie (volume of 

 Special Papers), which contains, I think, considerable improvements on 

 my original paper, and, in some cases, agrees with his remarks. This 

 was published in 1881. 



I may now proceed to add a few remarks in detail as to ideas which have 

 since occurred to me ; but, generally speaking, it appears that the area of the 

 conquests of Thothmes IIL has now been made very clear, whatever doubt 

 may exist as to individual towns. 



KaJesh may, of course, l)e the great objective of the campaign — the city 

 on Orontes— since the additional list, lately studied by Mr. Tomkins, and 

 given by Brugsch, includes the towns of Northern Syria. Megiddo may not 

 be Mujeddci, but there is no authority whatever, save a mere conjecture of 

 Bobinson's, for placing it at Lejjun. Dvtlna I regard as certainly Dothan. 

 If I remember rightly (not having the volume before me) I have so identified 

 it in the " ]\Iemoirs ;•' but, at any rate, the question is settled by M. Maspero. 

 Khaai should appear as Haiyeh in Arabic. As to (Tit Sana, I do not feel 

 certain. Anshu, I have thought, may be possibly the modern 'Anza, which 

 is suitable for position, if the change of Shin to Zain be admitted. 



As regards Diblhii, Bainai, and Kart Nixaiiu, it ought not, I think, to 

 be forgotten that Mohar. in his travels, mentions a river Nizana, which
