Pg. 12 "I removed the arm-bones of the upper body, and on the chest I found the piece of jewellery shewn in the frontispiece, pl. i, no.1, which is part of a piece forming the name of Kha-kheper-ra, Senusert II, the beetle being winged and supported by lotus flowers. On carefully removing a little more of the dust from the chest, I found the gold shell no. 34. The cartouche of gold wire, which is soldered onto the shell, is of Kha-kau-ra, Senusert III, and has a ureaus on each side of the cartouche."
