IN NATURE of September 12, p. 494, a summary description was given of the remarkable discovery, made by Mr. Theodore M. Davis, of Newport, R.I., of the tomb of the famous Egyptian Queen Tii, Thyi, or Teie, mother of the heretic-king Akhenaten, at Thebes. A remarkable point with regard to this discovery has been raised by an ``Occasional Correspondent'' of the Times, who informs us that the supposed remains of the queen, after having been examined by Dr. Elliot Smith, turn out to be those of a young, man, at most twenty-five years of age ! It is concluded therefrom that the discoverers were mistaken in their attribution of these remains, and that the coffin is not that of the queen at all, but of Akhenaten, whose name appears on it; but this cannot be the case. On the catafalque the inscription definitely states that it was given by Akhenaten to his mother Tii, and the mention of Akhenaten's name only on the coffin need mean also no more than this. The coffin is that of a queen; the diadem and necklace and other objects found are also the parure of a queen, not of a king, and the heads of the canopic jars are portraits of Tii.
