of course the foundation of the story is

We spent the following morning in the
bazaars and in the afternoon went to the
tombs of the Khalifs, which extended
along the E. side of the oily, and, which
beyond the Citadel, are known as Tombe
of the Mameltkes.
A11 these tombs, most of which are of
vast extent, were once richly endowed,
each being provided with a numerous
staff of ehekhe and attendants, who with
their families resided within their pre-
cincts. At the beginning of the present
century the revenues of these establish-
ments were confiscated, so that the tombs
are now falling to rain. The descend-
ants of mosque attendants and other
Arabs have since taken up their quarters
among the ruins, and the old necropolis
has thus been converted into e, kind of
suburb of Carlo, the inhabitants of which
often pester strangers with their impor-
tunities.
A visit to the tombs is exceedingly in-
teresting, particularly towards sunset,
owing to the very curious and novel pic-
ture they present. They may be reach-
ed by carriage, but the traveller will be
more independent on donkey -back.
The N. E. group of these mausoleums
consists of the Tomb of Sultan Abu Said
Kansuweh el•Ghnri, a cube surmounted
by an elongated dome, and two tomb -
mosques. These two mosques which
present no attraction, are now used for
military purposes, and are not shown
without special permission from the min-
ister of war. Ae visitors are prevented
by the sentry from approaching them,
we leave them and proceed in a straight
direotion to the Tomb -Mosque of Sultan
mes and
itwominarets. rhe
Barkuk,
uwith its twndeo rtoN. dome
are the tombs of the male, and ander the
S. dome those of the female members of
the family. The present entrance at the
S. W. corner is in a ruinous condition.
The old principal entrance at the N. W.
angle, now closed, has an architrave of
alabaster ; the threshold is of granite,
and the ceiling consists of a dome with
pendentive,.
The vestibule of the S.facade, through
which we reach the interior, has a fine
star.shaped dome. Adjoining the tomb
is a oo)umn, inscribed with several bio-
graphical data. A black stone here
(ironstone); when rubbed on granite un.
der water, is believed by the Moslems to
communicate sanatory properties to the
discolored water.
The adjacent tomb is that of Sultan
Farag, son of Barkuk.
The third tombs contain the remains
of a brother of Farag, who reigned
seventy days only.
The symmetrical plan of the edifice, its
massive masonry, and the symmetrical
disposition of the rows of pilasters with
domes, constitute this mosque one of the
most perfect examples of Arabian archi-
tecture in existence, and, notwithstand-
ing its ruinous condition, it still presents
a most imposing appearance.
Adjoining the mosque is a mausoleum
with a remarkably depressed dome, next
to which is the tomb of the mother of
Burebey,a poorly exeouted work. The
form of the openings in the latter is
worthy of notice, as the arches with
straight sides, planed below an acute
angle, though nob uncommon, seldom co-
eur quite alone.
In the same street, a few paces farther
to the S., we observe on the right the
long Okella Kait Bay, with it8 carefully
executed gateway and characteristic orna-
mentation. The facade is built of mase.
ive stone, and is tolerably regular, but
the tmebrebiyohe are of inferior work-
manship and probably of later date, The
gate is mounted with large iron nails.
The ground -floor is vaulted, while the
upper floor has an open ceiling. The
edifice was completed in the year 877 of
the Hegira.
A little farther to the S., projecting in
an angle, is a pdblio fountain, now in
ruins, also erected by Kait Bey. The
shallow niches, the upper parte of which
are shell•shaped, are in the form of fan-
testi0 arches.
Beyond this sebii is an open epee, on
the right eide of which is the Tomb•
Moore of Reit among the tombs of tt edifice, the finest
he Khalilo,with a
lefty dome and beautiful minarets.
