D.—FROM THE NECROPOLIS OF MEMPHIS, NORTH-WEST OF THE PYRAMID OF FIVE STEPS. 
Nine skulls of mummied Egyptians, taken by Mr. Gliddon from a large pit which had 
just been opened by the Arabs. Mr. G. remarks that No. 803 is a male, and 804 a fe- 
male, both unwrapped by his own hands. “’These mummies were all of a superior order, 
and enclosed in wooden cases. ‘The pit was opened in my presence, and consisted of a 
deep shaft cut through the solid rock, with two or three chambers filled with undisturbed 
mummies.” 
Scarcely any integuments remain on these heads, the removal of the wrappings leaving 
the bone for the most part completely denuded.
