mails that were carried. Doves lead
the list of birds. Then follow swallows
and ravens.
All this agrees with the account OF
the building and voyage of the ark as
given in the Bible, except the order
IN which the birds are named.
The order in which the birds are
mentioned agrees with the story of the
deluge told in another Assyrian tablet,
OF which, however, only a fragment
was found This was deciphered some
years ago by George Smith. In it the
sailing of the ark is mentioned with
out the details as to its building which
have been found in the tablet just de-
scrlbed- The story there tells how
the Assyrian hero at the deluge, Tam
Ii (the sun of life) foated for seven
days, when there came a calm and the
ark touched bottom Then he waited
seven days and still the waters did not
subside. So he freed a dove. 1t re-
turned After seven days more he lib
Grated a swallow, which returned also.
After another seven days he freed a
raven, which did not return. Then,
arguing that the raven had found that
it was safe to leave the protection of
Tie ark, Tamil was filed with hope.
He left the craft and made 1ibation on
the mountain which appeared above
the waters then, and which according
to the BabyIonian narrative was Mount
| Mir.
The order of the sending out of the
birds, it will be seen, is different in
