194 John Hogg, Esq., on the Geography and 
remarks; also on Gebel-el-Harun and the mountains of the 
Nabathean chain, those to the north-west of Wadi-el-Je- 
rafah, the great desert of EK] Tyh,* and the range of El] Eg- 
meh, the Sinaic Mounts, Gebel-el-Tyh, and Gebel Thughar. 
Fifthly, Starting again from Suez, I will shortly notice 
that eastern portion of Egypt which adjoins upon the Gulf of 
Suez, nearly as far south as the supposed site of Myos 
Hormus. 
And Sixthly, I will conclude with some observations on the 
general features, the geological formations, the minerals, and 
ores of the Peninsula of Mount Sinai. 
The map which accompanies this memoir was carefully 
reduced by Mr William Hughes, from one on a much larger 
scale, that was drawn and compiled by myself, from the maps 
of Professor Lepsius, Herr Russegger, Dr Robinson (executed 
by Kieppert at Berlin), and from the charts of the late sur- 
vey of the Red Sea by Messrs Moresby and Wellsted of the 
Indian Navy ; the cartoons or small plans of the “ District 
near Pharan,” and of the “‘ Present Sinaic District,” were re- 
duced by the same able artist from the larger ground-plans 
comprised in the works of Professor Lepsius and Dr Robinson 
respectively. 
In order that it should be as distinct as possible, and not 
rendered obscure and confused by a great crowd of names, 
I have only inserted those of the principal places: the Arabic, 
the ancient classical and scriptural appellations, I have 
given with as much accuracy asI could. It has been recently 
engraved by Mr W. Hughes, for the Transactions of the 
Royal Society of Literature, in purpose to illustrate my paper 
on the true Mount Sinai, which is published in Vol. IIL, 
* The article al or el, when preceding any word beginning with a t, r, sh, 
z,u, th, &c. (solar letter) ought strictly to be written Et Tyh, Er Rahah, Esh 
Sheikh, Ez Zeit, En Nakb, Eth Themed, &c.; or, as it may be abbreviated, 
thus—E’Tyh, E’Rahah, E’Sheikh, E’Zeit, E’Nakb, E’Themed, &c. In the pro- 
nunciation of the latter, care must be taken to give a double force to the solar 
letter. But with the vulgar people, this more correct mode of writing or pro- 
nouncing is seldom practised, and in the following pages I have accordingly 
retained the commoner form, solely because it is better understood.
