[Note by Mr. L. C. Hopkins.—The right-hand panel contains three Chinese characters, sufficiently disguised to make them very puzzling. At first I supposed them

to read N,   .., t`ien hsien fêng, viz. Heaven—first,
or prior—elegant. I can see no sense in such a sequence.

But it will be noticed that the whole of the lower part of the face is occupied by a circular design, divided on its inner margin into eight segments. This strongly suggests

the diagram of the arrangement of the /A 11' pa kua
or Eight Symbols, according to the system attributed to

Fu-hsi, and known as the 9   hsien t`ien t`u, or

` Earlier System ' of the Symbols. Hence it is possible
that the first two characters are to be read as hsien t`ien

A, and not t`ien hsien   A. But I can make
no suggestion as to the third character in such a connexion. It cannot be M t`u.]
