Figure 2. — The back of the legs o£ the same mummy. 
The buttock-incisions (2) are much more distinct than they are in 
figure 1. An incision (4) may be seen on the back o£ each knee joint ; 
and another (5) on the back o£ each heel. 
Ail thèse incisions are sewn up with a running thread. 
Plate VI. 
Figure 1. — The incision between the shoulders (Pl. V, fignre 1) is shown 
on a larger scale. The white arrows point to the ends o£ the incision 
and the number 1 is opposite its middle. 
The incision is very difficult to see even on the actual mummy, and 
was very difficult to photograph by reason o£ the polished red sur£ace. 
Figures 2 and 3 are larger photographs o£ the incisions on the backs o£ 
the knee (4) and the elbow (3) respectively o£ the mummy shown in 
Pl. V. 
Plate VII. 
Figure 1. — The £ront o£ the mummy o£ a woman. 
The skin has been removed £rom the £ront o£ the chest and abdomen 
almost as £ar down as the umbilicus, so as to expose the layer o£ mud 
covering the £ront o£ the thorax and leading down to the opening in the 
left flank. 
This photograph shows the characteristic position o£ the hands in 
£ront o£ the pudenda. 
Note the annular dépressions on ail the fingers — due to the présence 
o£ string wound around the fingers during the first stage o£ etnbalming. 
Figure 2. — The back o£ a £emale mummy. The right arm has been 
detached. The back — £rom the loins to the shoulders — has been stuffed 
with a large quantity o£ mud. The buttocks, however, have been 
stufFed with linen (removed on the right side). 
Plate VIII. 
Figure 1. — The £ront o£ the chest and the right arm o£ the mummy o£ a 
corpulent woman. 
The arm has not been stuffed, and the loose wrinkled skin forms a 
case enclosing the bone.
