[85]Abyssinian boundary.
[86]During the driest season of the year there is no difficulty in marching along either bank. Between Itang and Nasser the best road is along the right bank.
[87]For distances along the Sobat, vide [p. 152.]
[88]Between the Pibor and this point is a dreary, treeless, uninhabitated region of marsh. Above Gadjak the banks are finely timbered, and the river scenery is quite beautiful.
[89]Many Anuaks are to be seen marked with the Nuer tribal mark, i.e., 6 parallel horizontal lines across the forehead.

[92]Though the supposed mouth at Machar is deep and 30 yards wide, whilst that at Jokau is only 5 yards wide, there seems good reason to doubt if the former is in any way connected with the Khor Garre. Capt. Wilson was informed by the natives in February, 1904, when the Machar was entirely dried up, whilst the Jokau was a strong flowing stream 3 feet deep, that the former is not a mouth of the Garre. In June, 1904, the discharge of the Jokau was very marked, being of a muddy-white colour similar to the Pibor. At Machar, on the other hand, though the khor did contain water, perhaps an overflow from the Baro, no discharge was noticeable.
