Note 1 — INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF EGYPTIAN SEALS.

The reader must understand, however, that not all Egyptian scarabs were used as seals. Some, but a very small number compared to the seal class, were used as amulets, and a few, like medals, were cut to commemorate historical events. The amulet class will be dealt with in another volume; the medal-like series is included in the present work (see pp. 170-178.)
