Due to the change in bureau! ad ministration when General Hines assumed office in March, the report reviewed in general the new poli cies adopted and results obtained after June 3|o.

During his trip Dr. Gordon arranged for the shipment of 109 tons of antique relics to Philadel phia. They are expected to arrive about January 1 and will be set up nt the University Museum. Among the relics being shipped from Egypt is the throne room of Meneptah, cne of the Pharaoahs. Jewelry, mummies and mummy cases also are included. From Pal estine Dr. Gordon shipped a basalt tablet, a battle monument, which is expected to throw light on the story of Exodus; Roman glass, mosaic pavements, many small ob jects in bronze rnd a jar which was'i found filled with silver coins. In Egypt the expedition is dig ging in two places, at Memphis and at a site adjacent to that in which the late Lord Carnarvon discover ed the tomb of Tutenkhamun. , i “We don’t expect to make any finds in Egypt as tremendously im- ! portant as those by Lord Carnar- • von,” said Dr. Gordon. “However,! the work we are doing at Ur, in i Mesopotamia and at Beisan, in Pal- I estine, is very important.
