{ After some further discussion, in which the Rev. F. A. Walker, 
D.D., and Mr. Martin Rouse took part, the lecturer briefly replied,

Posrscrirt.—In answer to a question put by Canon Girdlestone: 
(see above) in reference to the possibility of cultivating the land 
of the Arabian Desert lying between Moab and the Euphrates, 
Sir Charles Wilson writes, “I do not know the country between 
Moab and the Euphrates, but should say, from all that I bave 
heard of it, that it is not cultivable excepting perhaps a few 
patches, here and there, in hollows which may occasionally 
produce a secant crop of barley.”
