Notes on Egypt, with drawings of four hieroglyphic cartouches. Lenormant draws and explains the cartouches with the names of Amenophis I and III; he describes the cat burial near the temple of Beni-Hacan el-Ahmar. He then notes two "Examples of mephitism caused by the invasion of flood waters in Delta cemeteries", recorded on September 16 and 17, 1828 at Sa-El-Haggiar and Chabour. An a.s. note from Dr. Étienne Pariset states that this manuscript was given to him by Lenormant in Thèbes on January 18, 1829.
