Abstract
WE regret to record the death on January 2 at the age of fifty-three years of Mr. Arthur Edward Pearse Weigall. Mr. Weigall was the son of Major A. A. D. Weigall. He matriculated as a member of the University of Oxford from New College in 1900; but after a brief residence joined Sir Flinders Petri's staff for archæological exploration at Abydos in Egypt. In 1905 he was appointed Inspector-General of Antiquities under the Egyptian Government, a post which he held until 1914. His archæological work was recognised by his appointment as officer of the orders of the Red Eagle (Germany), Franz Josef (Austria), and the Medjidieh (Egypt).
