case; see 45, 46, 60, 66, 78, 79, 175, 273 and 
277 in Plan. 
Besides the obelisks, there are two pillars bear¬ 
ing inscriptions. The most important (244 Plan) 
has sixteen groups on it of Eamessu offering to 
various deities (inscript. 64a, 64b, 64o, 64d). The 
varied head-dresses of the king are noticeable ; 
they are marked in the copies here. This pillar is 
drawn too elongated in plate xi., in order to put in 
all the inscriptions ; it is really 203 inches long, 
and 40x41 square, or 10 cubits by 2. The 
other pillar is also much weathered, and only a 
small part of all the inscriptions can be read 
(No. 66); it is marked 248, 249 in Plan, and the 
total length was 242 inches, or 12 cubits. 
This concludes the account of the monuments 
of which the inscriptions are published this year. 
It is hoped in the continuation of this memoir to 
publish the remainder of the inscriptions of San, 
which have already been entirely copied. The time 
required to produce these plates, renders it more 
suitable to divide them in two memoirs; especially 
as it is very unlikely that such a large mass will 
be waiting for publication in any other season. 
CHAPTEE III. 
GREEK AND HOMAN TANIS, 
AND DISTEIBUTION OF FINDS. 
32. We have now described the monuments of 
the great temple of San, and followed its history, 
as late as it can be traced. We have also noted 
all the particulars of the individual remains of 
which the inscriptions are here published; and 
we hope to complete the publication of all the 
other inscriptions in a similar manner. It now 
remains for us to give the detailed catalogue 
of the various small objects found, noting to 
what Museum they have been voted by the 
subscribers. In doing this, the finds of several 
objects together will first be taken, stating them 
in chronological order; secondly, the miscel¬ 
laneous small objects which were found separately 
will be grouped according to the Museums to 
which they have been presented, with back refer¬ 
ences to previous articles given to the same 
Museum. Thus there will be a chronological 
catalogue of the groups of things that belong 
together; and also a catalogue arranged by the 
Museums in which each thing may now be found. 
We shall necessarily include in the catalogue the 
objects from other sites than San, which have 
been collected and presented. Of some objects 
the dimensions are stated in inches, always in the 
largest direction. 
The earliest antiquities collected were a quan¬ 
tity of inlaying tiles and other fragments at 
Tel-el-Yehudiyeh, mainly from the palace of 
Eamessu III. These objects are so fully repre¬ 
sented at the British Museum that not many were 
required there. Those selected for the British 
Museum are (1, 2) two pieces of broad coloured 
tile, yellow and blue, palace of Eamessu III.; 
(3) pottery whistle in form of bird’s head, same 
site but perhaps later; (4) part of large grey 
granite bowl, date unknown; (6) pieces of cru¬ 
cible, with copper slag in it—this is of rough red- 
brown pottery; (6—20) flint flakes and core, flakes 
partly worked, two pieces of flint saw much 
worn, probably late, Eoman ?; (21) hammer of 
fossil wood, usual spheroidal type, but material 
unusual, Eoman ?; (22) handle of amphora, 
inscribed BPOMAl ; (23) part of figure of Venus 
in rude brown pottery; (24) base of a vase in 
black pottery, with ornament of incised dots in 
lines, Eoman ? ; (25—32) draughtsmen made of 
broken pottery, ground around the edges to a 
circular form, some pierced; (33—40) various 
cups, &c. of red and brown pottery, late. (The 
bulk of the fragments from the palace of Ea¬ 
messu III. were sent to Liverpool, 100 pieces in 
all, of rosettes, pieces of figures and drapery in 
glazed tile and alabaster, small pieces of glass 
for inlaying, &c. To Bristol, 8 rosette tiles and 
pieces, pieces of red glass for inlaying, and 5 
alabaster vessels and pieces. To Charterhouse 
School, 7 pieces of tile. To Boston, 11 pieces of 
alabaster, rosettes, &c. In all, 172 specimens.)
