On the map I have shown the distribution of sand-dunes as far as it is known at the present day. A comparison of this latest map with that given by Mr. Beadnell in his paper of 1910 will show how large is the number of dunes discovered and mapped in more recent years; and it will be noticed how pronounced is the constancy of the general direction of all the lines in the Egyptian portion of the Libyan Desert. Though no new lines of dunes comparable in extent with the great Abu Moharik belt have been added to the map, some of the newly discovered lines are of very considerable length, and they show an even more remarkable ratio of length to breadth than the Abu Moharik belt; the Ramak dunes, for instance, extend from near Moghara south-south-eastwards in a straight line for more than 100 kilometres, with only a single small break, and their width nowhere exceeds 1 kilometre. Moreover, the linear arrangement in a direction from about 20° west of north to about 20° east of south is even more pronounced in the newly discovered northern dunes than it is in those previously known farther south. In the “great sand sea” of Rohlfs, to the west of Dakhla and Farafra, the same directional arrangement of the individual lines of dunes is very noticeable, at least in the part near “Regenfeld” where I have penetrated it; and I found the same general direction to hold for most of the lines of dunes which I crossed on the way from Terfawi to Owenat. During the war I received a number of reports of dunes extending nearly east and west, often in curved lines; but investigations on the spot showed practically all these reports to be erroneous, the commonest mistake having been that of sighting different lines of dunes from different places under the impression that they were a single one.
