nd of the individual fibres I have no doubt that
the wool has been imported from India, or, more likely,
that the cloth was made in Cashmere. The texture is a
plain weave, has a selvedge edge, the warp yarns are
doubled, while the weft is single yarn. It is much to be
regretted that the particulars of locality, of burial,
and the period of time to which this interesting fabric
belongs has been lost. I assume from the general
characteristics that it is of a late period--probably
not earlier than the Ptolemaic.

4. This linen cloth has a plain selvedge, regular weave,
and contains no size. About 25% of both warp and weft
yarns are doubled, and all are very even in diameter.

5. A coarse linen cloth with plain selvedge. All the
yarns are single and even in diameter.

6. This is a coarse, highly-sized linen cloth. The yarns
are agglutinated, are brittle, and it is difficult to
separate the fibres. The sample submitted has been cut
from the end of the piece and shows the warp ends.

7. A coarse linen cloth, sized and brittle. No selvedge
on the piece sent. Both warp and weft yarns are single,
and even in diameter.

8. This is a very coarse linen fabric heavily sized and
brittle. Both warp and weft yarns are single and very
irregular in diameter.

9. A soft-spun linen cloth containing no size. Specimen
has been cut from the body of the fabric, showing no
selvedge. About half of the warp is composed of doubled
yarns of irregular diameter; the weft is of doubled
yarns and more regular in diameter.

10. The selvedge of this linen fabric is peculiar and
somewhat elaborate. The outer margin is composed of four
sets of ten yarns parallel to each other, forming one
strand of warp; then comes a space of 1-9/10" (48 mm.)
where the warp yarns are dyed red; then occurs three
more sets of ten parallel yarns (the object being to
strengthen the selvedge), followed by the general body
of the fabric. The entire selvedge is 2-1/4" (57 mm.)
wide. About half the warp yarns are doubled, while all
the weft are composed of doubled yarns, both being
fairly even in diameter, and not sized.

11. A fine, soft, linen cloth, with selvedge 1-1/8" (29
mm.) wide; the three outer and the two inner strands of
the warp are made up of many
