Tiro visit of several thousands of New Zealanders to Egypt has resulted, incidentally, in the collection of numbers of curios and antiquities, some probably of high value and destined to find honoured places in the public museums. Among the most important gifts of the land are some mummied remains which have just been received by Mr I). C. Hates, tbe Government Meteorologist, from Sergeant Robert Yarrow, who is serving with the Wellington Divisional Headquarters (says the Wellington Post). Sergeant Yarrow has sent a head, which he states belonged to a servant of an ancient Egyptian King, and a pair of feet, reputed to be those or a queen of LOGO P.C. Tbe parts are in an [excellent state of preservation; the bead is a finely-shaped specimen, and 1 i in l specimens were, of course, in their oiigintd ancient wrappings, still odor- j ms of preservative spices and gums. Ale Kates expects further particulars relating to tbo specimens by the next mail, and intends to hand the objects over to the Dominion Museum. ;
