Abstract
EIGHTEEN months ago, while at the Mena House, Cairo, I came across a back number of NATURE, which contained an article on “The Origin of the Year,” in which reference is made to the orientation of some Egyptian temples, and I suggested that inquiries should be made as to whether they were not in some cases oriented by the Pleiades. I had not then seen the numbers that referred to stellar orientation.
