The tombs are mostly constructed of brickwork, plastered, and 
can boast of no architectural beauty. Many have fallen into dis- 
repair; others are fast decaying and tumbling down. In many cases 
the inscriptions are illegible, though cut in granite, as they have been 
left unattended, and have had to give way to time and weather. | 
The inscriptions cut in marble have stood well and can be very 
easily deciphered. 
Every care was taken in compiling the register, whieh was a 
work of some difficulty, and, though errors may have crept in, it 
will be found, on the whole, to be fairly complete. ee
