After making collections of illuminated books, MSS., and medals, turned to Egyptology, and in 1906 became associated with Howard Carter at Thebes. They excavated together for many years, making a number of important discoveries. After the war of 1914-19 a concession to excavate in the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings was granted, although it was thought that all the mysteries of this famous valley had been already disclosed. On Nov. 5, 1922, the excavators came to a wall covered with cement, on which was the seal of the Royal Necropolis. Remarkable treasures were found as the excavation of this Necropolis [p.338] proceeded, and ultimately resulted in the discovery of the burial-place of King Tutankhamen. This great prize, however, was achieved only after Lord Carnarvon's death, in Cairo, as the result of blood-poisoning set up by a mosquitobite, Apr. 5, 1923. (G.E.C.
