The British Museum has at present about eighty mummies "surplus to the establishment." The Museum has never established any fixed quota of mummies, and these eighty have become superfluous only through more recent discoveries in Egypt. They might be destroyed by .cremation or otherwise; our apparently the British Museum needs the permission of Parliament to dispose of any of its-national possessions. They will have to be stored somewhere; the suggestion to reshin thein to F.gvpt for honourable reburial would not lie likelv to appeal to «v necessarily parsimonious Treasury.
