_Chunk Hill_ is a prominent isolated hill, nearly conical and of dark colour, which forms a good landmark in the broken country to the east of Gebel Owenat. It rises some 335 metres above the ground at its foot. _The Springs of Owenat._—Of the two water-sources of Owenat whose positions are given, the western one is the better, and is moreover very easy of access, being practically on the level of the plain which extends southwards from the mountain mass, and easily discoverable by the numerous animal-tracks converging to it; it is a pool among great boulders, obviously fed by percolation through cracks and fissures in the granite mountain which towers above it. The eastern water-source is less easy of access; it lies about 1 kilometre up a stony gully, and consists of a series of pools in the rocky floor of the gully, fed by trickling springs at the level where the granite is overlain by sandstone. The plain to the south of the western spring would form an excellent landing-ground for aircraft. Whilst in the neighbourhood of Owenat, I had hoped to re-determine the longitude of Hassanein Bey’s camp of 1923 with the aid of wireless time- signals, or at least by triangulation-connection to one of my observation-points, because a really accurate fixation of the longitude of a point about midway along his route from Jarabub to Furawia would possibly furnish the means of slightly correcting the longitudes assigned to Hassanein’s camps at Kufra and Erdi. I was unfortunately prevented from carrying out the desired connection; but from a hurried car-traverse which I made, skirting the western side of the mountain mass, in the course of which I must have passed pretty close to the site of Hassanein’s Owenat camp, I think that camp really lies about in longitude 24° 49′, or some 5 miles to the west of where I had previously calculated it to be from Hassanein’s traverse data;[61] and that in consequence the longitudes assigned to Kufra and Erdi from the same data may be some 2 or 3 miles too great. _Gebel Kamil_ is a sharply pointed hill of dark sandstone, forming a useful landmark between Terfawi and Owenat. It was visible from the east for more than 40, or from the west for about 20, kilometres. The name was given to it by Prince Kemal el Din in honour of his father, Hussein Kamil, the late Sultan of Egypt.
