RUINS OF MENCHE. 47 



The inscription, of which a photograph and drawing are given on Plate XCVIIL, is on 

 the outer side of a stone lintel, but I am unfortunately unable to say from which house 

 it was taken. The original stone is one of those removed from the ruins by Gorgonio 

 Lopez and his brothers which were repacked in Coban for transmission to England* 

 However, by some mistake this particular stone was put into the wrong case and sent 

 to the Museum at Berlin, where I have allowed it to remain. The photograph on 

 Plate XCVIIL is from a cast kindly sent to me by the Curator of the Berlin Museum. 

 The inscription is particularly interesting, as it contains the only Initial Series found 

 at Menchc.
