Abstract
THE death is announced of James Esward Quibell, well known as an Egyptologist, at the age of sixty-eight years. Born at Newport, Shropshire, he was educated at the Newport Grammar School and at Christchurch, Oxford, of which he was an exhibitioner. After taking honours in Classical Moderations and the Final School of Natural Science, he engaged for a time in teaching; but travel in Egypt attracted him to archaeology. He joined Prof. Flinders Petrie, assisting in the excavation of Coptos, Nagada, El Kab, Hierakonpolis and other sites. After a brief period of study at Berlin, he was appointed to the Catalogue Commission of the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, and in 1899 became an inspector in the Egyptian Antiquities Department.
