          The deciphering of the very imperfect seal impressions upon 

the <four> sealed doorways of the tomb is mainly, if not wholly, due 

to the kind assistance rend/ered by Prof. Breasted and Dr. Alan 

Gardiner. They spent several days studying them under some-

what difficult circumstances during the early stages of the dis-

covery. It was only after a long and leisured examination of <these>

seal impressions, aided by Mr. Burton’s excellent photographs, 

that I have found it necessary to make <but few> a few minor modifications 

in their renderings. These slight modifications I shall mention 

in due sequence. in the following discription.

          Eight seals, each bearing a different device, were employed

f/<i>n sealing the closed doorways of the tomb: seven at the time 

of the burial; and, subsequently, an eighth of less individual/<personal>

type, when closing the breaches made by the tomb-robbers. These <have>

are/<been> lettered A <t>o G and H, respectively,/<.> in the description below.
