PREFACE.
This Index has been compiled from the Old and New Testament and Apocrypha, the alterations in the Revised Version being noted in their places; from the ‘Memoirs and Name Lists of the Survey of Western Palestine;’ from that portion which is completed (as yet unpublished) of the ‘Memoirs and Name Lists of the Survey of Eastern Palestine;’ from Smith’s ‘Bible Dictionary;’ from the list drawn up by Sir George Grove for Clarke’s ‘Bible Atlas’ (S.P.C.K.); and from Conder’s ‘Handbook to the Bible’ and ‘Primer of Bible Geography,’ with numerous references to the ‘Quarterly Statements.’ The identifications adopted are those that will be found on the new maps (to be issued about the end of this year) of the Old and New Testament, covering both sides of the Jordan, and authorized by Colonel Sir Charles Wilson and Major Conder, R.E.
