battues in the desert, they appear to
have killed and taken the animals which
could properly be called game only in
open pursuit. They employed no snares
or traps for the purpose. The noXious
animals, on the other hand, such as leo
pards, hyenas, wolves, jackals, foxes,
were not only hunted for amusement,
but might be destroyed by the peasant,
to whose herds or farmyards they were
standing enemies, in any way by which
they could be taken. The poacher ap-
pears to have been unknown.
Not less striking than their hunting
was the fowling of the Egyptians. The
lakes and marshland Of the Delta and
the reedy marshes which in many places
line the banks Of the Nile, have ever
been the resort ofinnumerable wild fowls.
Hence fowling appears to have been a
general pursuit. The professional fowler
who followed it for his livelihood used
nets and traps; but the sportsman
brought the birds down with the throw.

foot and quarter to two feet in length
and about an inch and half in breadth,
slightly curved at the upper end, and
which, being fiat, and thus encountering
but little resistance from the air in its
fight, could be thrown to distance, and,
when thrown by dexterous hand, with
considerable accuracy of aim. The
method of proceeding appears to have
been to creep in punts made fthe papy-
rus as noiselessly as possible into the
reeds, the height of which concealed
their approach, till, the birds rising, the
sportsman was enabled to use the throw
stick, an attendant being at hand who as
fast as one stick was thrown supplied
another. Three of the most spirited
sketches in Sir Gardner Wilkinson's col
