Citizen Georrroy, of the National 
Inftitute of Egypt, in a fecond journcy 
which he has made to Sakkara, has been 
particularly employed in the ftudy of the 
le{s apparent catacombs. He has obferv- 
ed fome wells of but little depth, which 
only terminate in a very {mall cavity, and 
fome excavations ftill lefs confiderable, ap- 
propriated to theindigent. ‘Their bodics, 
penetrated with bitumen, were enveloped 
in their mantles made of the fame woollea 
ftuff as the Felahhs now make ufe’of 5 
branches of date tree were placed in the 
folds of this fluff, and ftalks of maize or 
Indian wheat formed the laft covering ; 
the whole. was fixed by cords of date- tree. 
This rude mummy was depofited in a fofs 
cut out of the rock; and the’ ftones pro- 
ceeding from this excavation, were laid in 
a heap on the body and cemented together ~ 
witha fine plafter. The natvralift whofe 
obfervations are here reported and abridg- 
ed, was afterwards convinced that. the 
-catacombs of Memphis haveall been as 
much explored by digging as thofe of 
‘Thebes. There are found on the furface 
of the rock, and buried under the fands 
which the winds have fince carried there, 
mummies extraéted from the fubterranean 
galleries, different {mall figures, that of 
the Typhon, particularly pottery-ware, 
fome of which are of elegant forms, and 
like the vafes of Herculaneum, fmall maf 
fes of natron, carefully and curioufly 
wrapt up in linen, gums, bitumens, and 
leaves tran{pierced by cords of palm-tree 
and difpofed in the form of chaplets.” 
It Appears from a report communicated 
to the Lyceum of Arts at Paris, on the 
Rheum Palmatum, a rect imported into

of this importation has been completely 
demonftrated. The Lyceum fas des ~
