I rather doubt if the preservation in this portion of the tomb is as good &s in the store chamber. The store cham- ber is deeper and further in, and the way leading to the mortuary chamber having been sealed it would seem quite likely that the things in it will have felt the ravages of time less than the objects in the annex, where a hole had been made in the sealing and the damp air that penetrated to the outer cham- ber must have been able to flow into the annex with greater ease. Much Study Still Needed. This chamber appears to be, and is, smaller than the first or outer cham- ber, but 1 should not be surprised to see more objects come out of it than out of the first. It is so crowded with things that it would be quite imposs ble to move at all in the room, nd some sort of arrangement will have to be made to move the first objects out without setting a foot within. I have, I hope, made it clear what task lies before us, and how very im- portant it i8 not to be unduly dis- turbed. present season be repeated it is im- possible to say when the work can be completed.
