Memphis. The second vase of the series was in the shape
of the genius Hapi, the " concealed." Its cover was shaped
Uke the head of a cynocephalus, and it held the smaller
viscera. This genius presided over the North, and was also
the son of Osiris. The third vase was that of the genius
Tuautmutf, " the adorer of his mother.'' It had a cover
in shape of the head of a jackal, and held the lungs and
heart. This genius presided over the East, and was
brother of the preceding. The last was that of the genius
Kebhsnuf, the "refresher of his brethren." It had a

cover shaped like the head
of a sparrow-hawk, and held
the liver and gall-bladder. This
genius presided over the West,
and was also brother of the
preceding. Three vases of a
set, in the British Museum,
have all human-shaped heads,
and are provided with handles
at the sides of the bodies.
