Mistaken Identity.—A photograph showing the sarcophagus, the cartonnage or face mask, and the form of the Egyptian mummy described as “a priest of the god Khem, named Petisiris,” reposing in the Dominion Museum, Wellington. The strip of characters is an inscription taken from the sarcophagus, and, translated, means: "The gods Amset, Hapi, Tuamutef, Zebhsennuf give protection to Osiris Neith. May she arrive in triumph,” and is one of the proofs that the mummy was wrongly named.
