Extract

IN the course of a journey from El Obeid to Jebel Marra, in Darfur, Captain Hubert Lynes collected a number of the rocks from the volcano of Dereiba and from various other points on the route, shown in the map (Fig. 1). The rocks of this area have not been described hitherto. The following notes give a brief description of the nature of the country, with petrological details of the rocks collected.

Lynes, who considers his observations correct to within 200 feet, climbed a 9,500 ft. peak (6,000 feet in Hobbs' map, loc. cit., p. 362), and judged several peaks viewed thence to be up to 10,000 feet or over.CrossRefGoogle Scholar
