Part X X X I V of " Cuneiform Texts from Babylonian Tablets, etc.," contains texts from thirty clay tablets and twenty baked clay foundation-cylinders from the Kouyunjik and the Babylonian Collections in the British Museum. All are here published for the first time, with the exception of seven of the tablets and three of the cylinder fragments.

The most important historical texts given herein are :-I. A pentagonal cylinder of Esarhaddon, B.C. 681-668, inscribed during his accession year with an account of the rebuilding of Babylon, and of the ruin of the city after its destruction by his father, Sennacherib. 2. A series of fragments of barrel-cylinders inscribed with narratives of the building operations carried out at Nineveh by Sin-shar-ishkun, the last king of Assyria. 3. A text, edited from a series of cylinders of Nebuchadnezzar I I. B.C. 604-561, recording his restoration of the temple of the city-god of Maradda. 4. Texts of Nabonidus; B.C. 555-538, describing building operations in the cities of Larsa, Akkad, and Sippar of Anunitum.

Among mythological and religious texts are :-I. A series of directions for averting the effects of evil portents which may happen to a prince on his travels. 2. Astrological omens explained by the chief astrologer for the benefit of the king, with special reference to the Cimmerians. 3. A series of astronomical and astro- logical texts, forming an appendix to those published in Part XXXII I of this work. 4. A series of fragments of mythological legends included as an appendix to Parts XI1 I and XV of this work.

The copies and descriptions have been made by Mr. L. W. King, M.A., Litt.D., Assistant Keeper in the Department.

INSCRIPTIONS FROM KOUYUN JIK :- (i.) PENTAGONAL CYLINDER OF ESARHADDON, inscribed with a text

recording the desolation of the city of Babylon on his accession to the throne of Assyria, and the measures he immediately took to rebuild the city, and restore its ancient privileges and prosperity. The text is dated in the month Iyyar of his accession year. It forms a parallel text to the Black Stone Inscription of Esarhaddon, published in I R., pl. 49, but is not a duplicate of it. The pentagonal form of the prism, which is most unusual, was evidently adopted by the scribe because of the paucity of material to record at a date so early in the king's reign. (Ki. 1904-10-9, I [98972]) ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ~ f .

(ii.) BARREL-CYLINDERS OF SIN-SHAR-ISHICUN, THE LAST KING OF ASSYRIA. The cylinders formed foundation-records, which were buried in a building erected by Sin-shar-ishkun upon the palace mound at Nineveh. For a previous publication of K. 1663 and D.T. 64, and for references to other fragments, cf. Bezold, Kouyunjik Catalogue, passim. (Ki. I 904- I 0-9, 357 [g93241 ; Ki. I 904-10-9, 352 + 353 [g9320 + 99320A] ; 80-7-9, 13 ; I<. 8540 + 82-5-22, 28; K. 1662; K. 1664 ; K. 8541 ; D.T. 64 + 82-5-22, 27 ; K. 1663 ; 81-7-27, 8 + 82-5-22, 26) 2-7

(iii.) TABLET OF ROYAL PORTENTS. The text contains detailed directions for making offerings and for the recital of incantations in order to avert harm from evil portents which may happen to a prince when travelling in his chariot. The colophon states that the tablet was the property of Nabfi-ushallim, the

... ... magician. (Th. 1905-4-9, 88 [g858z]). .. ... ... ... ... 8 f.

(iv.) ASTROLOGICAL OMENS. The text is thrown into the form of a letter or communication to the king. I t was written by a high astrologer, in order to interpret the meaning of various astrological phenomena of recent occurrence, including observations of the planets Mars and Jupiter, a solar eclipse, and a diminution of the normal rainfall. The observations with regard to Mars were regarded as having special reference to the Cimmerians. (Ki. 1904-10-9, 59

(v.) ASTROLOGICAL A N D ASTRONOMICAL TEXTS. These are here published as an appendix to the texts which have already appeared in Part XXXIII, etc. For descriptions of the fragments, see King, Kouyz~njik Catalogue Suppkltze~zt, passim.

(vi.) MYTHOLOGICAL LEGENDS, ETC. These texts form a supplement to those already published in Parts XI11 and XV. Th. 1905-4-9, 447 [g89411 and K. 14727 are probably from legends referring to early kings. K. 15525 is possibly from the Gilgamesh Epic ; and Ki. 1902-5-10, 32, is a fragment from the Fable of the Horse, 5YE" \4 Ezyy, and the Ox, [gy-p]. Ki. 1904-10-9, 159, which joins K. 7600 ( cf. C.T., XV) is duplicate of K. 162, Obv., 11. 32-46. For the remaining numbers, K. 14611, K. 16350, K. 14788, Th. 1905-4-9,415, Ki. 1902- 5-10, 32, K. 14363, and K. 16686, see King, Kouyunjik Catalogue Supplement,
