The chapter of the heart. According to some copies of the 30th, or 64th chapter, ' at the end of which this statement is sometimes added, it was found during the reign of Hesep-ti, the fifth king of the first dynasty. Chapter 30 B belongs to the Psychostasia, in which the heart of the dead man is weighed against the feather, B, emblematic of Law; in the vignette which sometimes accompanies this chapter, the deceased is seen being weighed against his own heart, in the presence of Osiris, the pointer of the scales being watched by the cynocephalus ape of Thoth. The text of this chapter, found upon scarabs with many variants, is as follows:-2 1 Goodwin, On a text of the Book of the Dead belonging to the Old Kingdom, in Aeg.

The devices and inscriptions are very varied, but at present it is not possible to explain one half of them satisfactorily. The third class of scarabs, i.e., the historical, appears to be confined to a series of four, extant in many copies, which were made during the reign of Amenophis III., to commemorate certain historical events. They are of considerable interest, and the texts inscribed upon them refer to :— I.
