 occurs on the Gliddon mummy-case, and from the Third dynasty to the end of hieroglyphic writing

The species of cobra, as appears from the painted figure on the Gliddon mummy-case, is the 

 indigenous C. haje ; — to the present day, tamed and kept by serpent-charmers. From early times, 

 the reptile seems also connected with mythology: and hence perhaps the worship extended in 

 Hindustan to a corresponding species.

 Fourth dynasty (Leps. d. ii. pi. 13), and at Benihassan under the Twelfth, as observed by myself;
