and titles of the deceased, and portions of the Ritual of the 
Dead. The whole was then enclosed in a wooden coffin, and 
sometimes deposited in a stone sarcophagus. 
Cases 46-51. Various mummies and coffins; the most remarkable 
being part of the mummy-shaped coffin of King Menkara, the 
Mycerinus of the Greeks, builder of the Third Pyramid. This is not 
only the oldest coffin in the collection, but one of the earliest inscribed 
monuments of Egypt. Near it is part of a body, supposed to be that 
of the king, found in the same pyramid. A small Greeco-Egyptian 
mummy of a child from Thebes ; on the external wrapper is painted a 
representation of the deceased. 
The principal mummies and their coffins are placed in two rows 
in the central part of the room. The most important are the fol- 
lowing : — 
Case 66. Mummy and coffin of Bakrans (Bocchoris), a female: 
about B.C. 720. 
Case 67. Mummy and coffin of Katbti, a priestess of Amen-ra. 
Case 68. Coffin of Har, incense-bearer of the temple of Num-ra. 
Case 69. Very fine mummy of Harnetatf, high priest of Amoun ; 
on the soles of the sandals are represented Asiatic captives. The outer 
case is in the corner of the room, in Case 27. 
Case 70. Mummy of Haremhbai, richly painted, and the coffin of 
Enantef, a king anterior to the 12th dynasty. 
Case 72. Coffin of Tenamen, an incense-bearer at Thebes. The 
face is of dark wood, inlaid with glass. 
Case 7i. Mummy of a Grseco-Egyptian youth, whose portrait is 
placed on the head, painted on cedar. 
Case 75. Mummy and coffin of a Grseco-Egyptian girl, named 
Tphous, daughter of Heraclius Soter ; on the coffin is a Greek inscrip- 
tion, recording her death in the 11th year of Hadrian, a.d. 127. 
Case 103. Sarcophagus of Mentuhetp, a functionary of about the 
11th dynasty. 
Case 104. Sarcophagus of Amam, an officer under one of the older 
dynasties. 
" Cases (A) 77, (B) 90, and (C) 1 05, in the centre of the room. Two 
large wooden coffins of the Roman period. One is that of Cleopatra, 
of the family of Soter, the other of Soter himself, an archon of Thebes, 
in the reign of Trajan ; and the outer, inner case, and mummy of a 
female named Shepshet, about b.c. 700. 
Tn the upper part of the Cases just mentioned are placed personal 
ornaments, amulets, and scarabaei, chiefly found with the mummies. 
The scarabsei frequently bear the names of kings, showing probably 
that the persons interred had borne office under those monarchs. The 
most remarkable are some small scarabaei in Division 95, with the names 
of Cheops and Chephren,the kings who built the Great and the Second 
pyramids, and several large scarabaei of the reign of Amenophis III. ; 
one (No. 4095) recording the number of lions slain by the king within
