* Taken from A Guide to the Antiquities of Upper Egypt, by Arthut E. P. Weigall.

I T is impossible to write such a book as this without referring to, and making use of, the countless existing works on Egyptology. References to many such works, and especially to Mr. A. E. P. Weigalls Guide to the Antiquities of Upper Egypt, will be found in the following pages. But it is usual for the author, when his book has reached its final stages, to prepare a list of acknowledgments to those previous authors to whom he is chiefly indebted. Unhappily, within a month of completing the text of this work, upon which he had been actively engaged for several years, my husband died. It falls to me, therefore, to express thanks on his behalf for much valuable help in the preparation of the work: to Prof. Margaret A. Murray, Mr. Alfred Lucas, Dr. G. A. Reisner, Dr. Robert L. Mond, and to the Rev. J. U. MacGregor.

Although the text was completed by the author, much still remained to be done before publication, and the work of seeing the book through the press, making the index and writing Appen-dix I has been that of Mr. Reginald Engelbach, Keeper of the Cairo Museum. I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks for his kind and careful co-operation.

CONSTANCE N. BAIKIE

T HE following list is mainly based upon the Chronological Lists of the Cambridge Ancient History. In the case of the earlier dates, up to the rise of the XVIIIth Dynasty, there is a fairly wide margin of error to be allowed for, and such dates are only to be reckoned as approximations, as authorities, in spite of recent modifications of extreme views, still differ considerably. From 1580 B.C. when the XVIIIth Dynasty begins, the chronology may be regarded as pretty accurately determined, as the differences among the various authorities amount only to a few years at most.

PREDYNASTIC PERIOD

The names of a few of the Pharaohs of this period have survived. Seka, Khaiu, Tiu, Thesh, Neska (?) and Uazin appear to have reigned in Lower Egypt, and The Scorpion in Upper Egypt; but it is not possible to assign even approximate dates to them.
