Extract

With the exception of an article written by me for Sir William Willcocks and published in his “Nile in 1904,” and a reference to the relations of the Eocene and Cretaceous in the oasis of Kharga in a paper read before the Geological Society in 1905, nothing has, I believe, been published on the water-supply and geology of this district since Dr. Ball's report in 1900.

page 53 note 1 The localities referred to in this paper are shown on the accompanying map, p. 51, the topography of which is based on the maps of the Survey Departmental Report. The scale (1: 500, 000) is of course too small to show each division of the Eoceue and Cretaceous, and the boundaries of such as are indicated must only be taken as approximate. On the Survey maps the names of the two prominent outliers of the plateau on the east side of the depression have their names reversed; the most northerly is Jebel el Ghennima, the other to the south Jebel Um el Ghennaim.
