Egyptian hedgehogs, and a human-headed hog) ; they have incused 
on their bases the figures of deities, sacred animals, the names of kings, 
short inscriptions, and other symbols or hieroglyphics. They have 
formed portions of necklaces, bracelets, rings, or other articles of per¬ 
sonal adornment, and are classed according to the objects which they 
represent, with an internal arrangement following the rank of the sym¬ 
bols on their bases. Among the larger ones in Div. 1, will be found 
the prenomen of Re-Men-Ka, the names of Amenof II. and III., and 
Taia, wife of the latter; on the smaller in Div. 2, the figures and

Case 100. Sepulchral scarabsei, generally engraved with a prayer or 
formula, extracted from the ritual, relative to the heart or soul, of which 
it was probably the emblem. Considerable difference exists in the 
length of the inscriptions; but they often contain the name of the 
deceased. The inscribed sepulchral scarabsei are found between the 
folds of the interior bandages and on the chest of the mummies. The 
inscription is on the base; but the names and titles of the deceased, 
figures of deities, &c., are found on the elytra and corslet. From the 
difference observable in the elytra, different species of the insect seem 
to be represented. Among these are a small green jasper scarabseus,
