THE GALEGU 241 



undulating loamy ground, the first I have noticed, I 

 think, since the Settit. Past two or three small 

 villages, but the country is almost uninhabited. 

 Was met in Abu Hashini by the Mamur, who was 

 very polite. Was told by a Greek, apparently in 

 charge of the gauge on the Binder, that water is not 

 to be expected in the river for a month. If so, I 

 should be able to extend my trip to Koseires.
