This book is an attempt to give a systematic account of the geography and geology of South-Eastern Egypt according to the latest information available. It is based on surveys which I carried out by order of the Egyptian Government during the four years 1905-1908, and has been written in the intervals of other official work during the succeeding three years.
In the first or introductory chapter, I have given a summary, with some criticisms, of previous accounts of the region. This seemed advisable in that the literature, although not very extensive, is scattered in books and papers in various languages, and is not always easy of access.
