Height of Dead Sea on 

 the 12th March, 1865. 



At the distance of 3 J miles beyond Khan Hadhur, on the road to Jericho, 

 the level of the Mediterranean was crossed, and from thence towards the 

 Dead Sea the levels are marked with the negative sign. 



On the 12th of March, |865, the party reached the Dead Sea, when its 

 level was found to be 1 292 feet below the level of the Mediterranean ; but 

 from an examination of the drift wood on the shore, it was ascertained that 

 at some time of the y^ar, probably after the winter freshets, the water rises 

 2|feet higher, which would make the least depression 1 289*5.
