Abstract
WE have had to wait some little while for Prof. Garstang 's publication of his discoveries in the necropolis of Beni Hasan during the years 1902 -3 -4. However, “better late than never.” The publication is issued under the auspices of the University of Liverpool, in which Mr. Garstang now professes the methods and practice of archology. We must congratulate Prof. Garstang on his appointment. As a professional excavator of untiring industry and “go,” he has been known to the archsnological world for some years; and he has been a lucky excavator also. Nobody knows better than the digger that luck, no less than a keen eve and “sense of the probable,” knowledge of the appearance of disturbed and undisturbed land, &c., is an important ally to him; and the discoverer of the other half of the Menes tablet at Nagada should gratefully admit his obligations to Dame Fortuna.
