Khor Tumat | — | — |Track passes under the northern
| | |foot of J. Gezan. Before reaching
J. Ghezan | 3 | 3 |J. Sude, water is found in Khor
| | |Durin and Khor Gaza. A certain
| | |amount of gold washing is carried
| | |on in both these water courses.
| | |
_J. Sude_ | 12 | 15 |Sude was the site of an old
| | |Egyptian Mamuria. The present Mek
| | |is a Berta and very few of the
| | |natives know Arabic. There is a
| | |good deal of cultivation and
| | |plenty of water is obtainable.
| | |
_M’Nzila_ | 8½ | 23½ |M’Nzila is a large scattered
| | |village to the south, and south of
| | |J. M’Nzila a great deal of ground
| | |is under cultivation. The leading
| | |men, most of whom are Jaalin who
| | |established themselves there in
| | |the Dervish time, are prosperous.
| | |Road from Sude to M’Nzila very
| | |rough and bad, good water in the
| | |Khor Goga near its source.
| | |
| | |From M’Nzila there is a fair,
| | |though very hilly, road leading
| | |west over the north shoulder of J.
| | |M’Nzila and south of J. Tone. A
| | |very deep ravine runs along the
| | |south side of J. M’Nzila into the
| | |valley between Dul and Kurmuk.
| | |
| | |The descent into the valley just
| | |north of J. Tone is very steep.
