Appendix: Route from Suez to Nakhl
I add the places on our route, as given me by Sheikh Sulinian at Kakhl. I am not sure that in all cases I have caught the exact word, as it is exceedingly difficult to get hold of words and names from the lips of the Bedaween. They cannot understand why there should be any difficulty in picking up their words; and even when they repeat them to you, they do so in a way which shews that they do not at all see where your difficulty of apprehension lies. I set down here what I learned from the sheikh, because he mentioned several names which I do not find elsewhere: —

Here the sheikh’s euunieratiou stopped, for he left us at Kakhl. He gave several names which were not mentioned to us at the time “we passed the place, and which I do not find elsewhei’e. I may have mistaken them, but I thought it better to set them down, as a good Arabic scholar could at once detect the word, and know its meaning. He omittetl one or two places which were mentioned at the time.
