Abstract
THERE existed at Armant until the year 1861 an extremely interesting temple built by Cleopatra the Great in honour of the birth of her son Caesarion. This was completely demolished between the years 1861 and 1863 and the materials were taken and used in the construction of a. sugar factory ; but, prior to that date, it had been visited and described by many travellers and fortunately, a number of drawings, plans and photographs of it were taken by them. We are engaged upon a reconstruction of this temple for publication and we should be very grateful for any help which readers of NATURE may be able to give us to make this as complete as possible. Any information about unpublished descriptions, plans, drawings or photographs of it would be of the greatest value.
