| | | | |On both banks are remains of
| | | | |houses, and a quartz reef is
| | | | |conspicuous on the left
| | | | |bank. The latitude of
| | | | |junction of Taimurit and
| | | | |Alagi is 22° 1′ 11″, so
| | | | |most, if not all, the reef
| | | | |is north of 22°. It shows
| | | | |marks of having been
| | | | |prospected.

_Wadi | 1 | 71¾ | 3 | 190 |One hour further on, where
Neshd_ | | | | |the wadi changes the
| | | | |direction of its flow from
| | | | |S.W. to N.W., some tombs
| | | | |close under the right bank
| | | | |are a landmark for the Wadi
| | | | |Neshd, which comes in on the
| | | | |left bank opposite. There is
| | | | |good water in the Wadi
| | | | |Neshd.
| | | | |
| | | | |The wadi now begins to wind
| | | | |more. Two hours further on
_Wadi | 2 | 73¾ | 6 | 196 |the Wadi Kamotit on right
Kamotit_ | | | | |bank is passed. There is
| | | | |good water a short way up
| | | | |it.

Deraheib | 4¼ | 78 | 12 | 208 |The wadi now begins to
| | | | |wriggle about without,
| | | | |however, much decreasing in
| | | | |width. The hills on either
| | | | |side continue to be of no
| | | | |great height, and in one or
| | | | |two places the track crosses
| | | | |low saddles to cut off
| | | | |corners; good trees all the
| | | | |way.
