connection with other dimensions of that marked horizontal plane 
already alluded to. 
Examination of it shows that it is broadly divided into two por- 
tions, by the leaf resting on it ; and the linear measures of the two 
rectangles thus formed are respectively, the northern one —

roughly divided into J and -frds of No. of days in a year. 
The perimeter of the chamber at the ceiling (363 inches) had 
pointed out the probability of our finding some of the external pro- 
portions of the pyramid repeated here ; and as there we find the 
“year' - ’ in terms of 4 cubits, or 100 inches, so here we have a “year” 
of inches ; and as there the grander and external year is intimately 
connected with the height of the pyramid through 7 r, so here we 
find, through the same medium, a connection with the length of 
the chamber, a mean of three measures of which gives 116-32 for 
its length in pyramid inches, for taking 365-24 as circumference, 
diameter = 116-26.
