The Garstaiig-Mai'ston Palestine expedition has located the royal palate 'at Jericho, razed when Joshua, burned the city 3400 years ago. Sir Charles Marston states that the excavation of the palace will be delayed until 1932 owing to the heat in the Jordan Valley. The discovery follows the recent location of • the Jericho necropolis, in which Mr. Garstang estimates there aro two thousand unopened tombs. An exhibition of the finds will probably bo held in London. Mr. Garstang is publishing a book dealing with the researches'which Sir Charles Marston believes will ■ revolutionise many ideas in Bible history up 'to the events recorded in the Book of Judges.
