Thirteen miles and seven furlongs. — Village of Shurabee about half 

 a mile to the right of the road, with a small well. Country level, cover- 

 ed with low bushes and some baubul trees, a scanty herbage of coarse 

 grass, affording pasturage for flocks of pretty good sheep. Camels also 

 seen grazing in the vicinity. The village itself is merely a few miser- 

 able huts, but there are some attempts at enclosures about it. Grain 

 is procurable in small quantities, and also a little forage. A few tra- 

 vellers were met during this day's march.
