by Prof W. M. Flinders Petrie from the cartonnages of Ptolemaic mummies found by him at Gurob in 1889-1890. Pap. 485 was presented to the Museum by Jesse Haworth, Esq., the remainder by H. Martyn Kennard, Esq. Most of them have been edited by Prof. J. P. Mahaffy in the Cunningham Memoirs, nos. VIII and IX, of the Royal Irish Academy, On the Flinders Peirie Papyri (D\ib\\n, 1891 and 1893), and revised, mainly by Prof J. G. Smyly, in Cunningham Memoirs, no. XI (Dublin, 1905). References to the original publications {P. P. 1. and 11.) are attached to the descriptions below, in which the original order is preserved, and the numbers assigned to them in the supplementary volume {P. P. in.) are also given. Some of the papyri which had been assigned to the Museum, when the distribution of the collection was made, were never transferred to it, having been previously mislaid. These are included in the descriptions (see nos. 505, 506, 509-512, 515), but are marked as missing]
