 The character occurs on the Gliddon mummy-case, and from the Third dynasty to the end of hiero- 

 glyphic writing (Leps. k. pi. 5 to 67) : is an early if not the earliest form of the Greek thelta, and

 the bird, occurs as early as the .... dynasty (Champ, diet. 331): seems besides the origin of one 

 form of the Phoenician thld j\, or Hebrew <T , and the form f> of the corresponding Greek letter 

 thelta. ' ' 



In the highly finished figure on the Gliddon mummy-case, the two appendages of the perch are 

 found to be feathers : additional proof, that the art of falconry was known when writing was invented. 

 Falconry seems to belong especially to the country on the Euphrates, — and was found by Layard 

 practised among the Arabs there to the present day.

 (according to Herodotus) were made of copper : and the above shallow pattern is continued 

 on the Assyrian monuments, and in the drinking-cups of copper or brass used to the present 

 day by the Hindus. The above word "kooh" may prove the origin of the name "cow," in the
