Abstract
ON the western horizon of the Libyan Desert, as viewed from the summit of the Great Pyramid of Ghizeh, a conical hill stands in solitary grandeur, far removed from the route of desert travellers. This has long been supposed to be the ruins of a pyramid, yet nowhere is it recorded to have been visited by any but the Bedouin tribes who pass within a few miles of it, on the old caravan route to the Faioom. It is enumerated by Lepsius as one of the Pyramids of Egypt, and in a recent work on the Great Pyramid* it is called Dr. Leider's Pyramid, “until a better name be found for it,” merely from its having been pointed out to the author by the late Dr. Leider of Cairo, who, however, had never visited it.
