Burton, Richard Francis, Sir, 1821-1890; Hejaz (Saudi Arabia) -- Description and travel
[EN#153] In "The Gold-Mines of Midian," Chap. V., occur several

They are corrected in my "Itineraries," part ii. sect. 2.
[EN#154] To this breed belonged the beast which carried me on the
first Expedition.
[EN#155] For a short notice of this region, hitherto unvisited by
Europeans, see Chap. XVIII.
[EN#156] For a note on the "Burnt Mountain," so well known at
El-Wijh, see Chap. XVIII.
[EN#157] It was afterwards exhibited at the Hippodrome, Cairo,
and was carefully photographed by M. Lacaze. Others said that it
came from the east of our camp, near the Jils el-Dáim.
[EN#158] It was duly committed to the charge of our Sayyid.
