(1) Street G 7500
No plan of the southern end of this street is yet possible, [nor] can numbers be given to the structures now appearing until the more northern parts are cleared down to rock. Several stone mastaba walls and a crude brick Dynasty 4(?) niche are now visible, this facing [south]. The men are now digging under the former end of Line VII and Line VI is about 6 meters north of this Line, at 630 cm east of its present end.

(2) Avenue G 2 east
Little work in this street itself, only in the extreme west end near G 7430. Line VII now ends 3.30 meters east of mastaba core of G 7510.

(3) G 7430
(See plan on next page). Pit G 7430 is now 8 meters deep. Robbers' debris comes from this depth. Near this depth there are four chambers, one on each side. All are open. High in west wall of interior chapel is a hole which runs some way in; it may be a serdab and will be cleared. The outermost chapel is now fast being cleared.
