EDITORIAL NOTE TO VOLUME II.
* * * * *
The Routes in this Volume have been arranged according to the Chapters in Vol. I.
Additional matter is given in the shape of an Appendix, describing the main Routes leading out of the Sudan.
Almost the whole Volume has been edited by Captain H. H. S. Morant (Assistant Director of Intelligence), to whom my best thanks are due; Captain W. Lloyd is chiefly responsible for the excellent Routes in Kordofan.
Intermediate places where water is to be found (except those obviously on a river) are given in italics.
[It being impossible to provide a map showing even all the terminal places mentioned, intending travellers are referred to the map at the end of Vol. I, and to the Sudan Ordnance Survey Maps (scale, 1:250,000), a list of which is given in Vol. I, p. 349.]
A certain number of copies of each Chapter in this Volume have been printed and bound separately in strong paper covers for practical use when travelling. Application in Egypt should be made to the Director of Intelligence, Egyptian War Office, Cairo, or to any Bookseller in Great Britain, of whom copies may be obtained, price One Shilling each.
