Assyrian Readings.

Among the Babylonian cuneiform tablets from the library of Amenophis IV (king of Egypt, 15th century B. C.) is one which records how Adapa, disturbed by the South-Wind while fishing, broke the South-Wind's wing, and had to answer for his deed before Anu, the god of the heavens. This tablet will be the subject of Professor Lyon's reading in the Fogg Museum at 4 p. m. today.
