Abstract
WHERE the region is not too large there is a certain convenience in treating the various branches of study relating to the earth's surface in a single organisation, and in Egypt this arrangement has given good results. The report of the Survey Department on the work done in 1910 has recently appeared, and in the same way as in former years geodetic triangulation and precise levelling furnish the primary control for topographical surveys, cadastral surveys, and to some extent for the geological survey, which has to cover a wider area than that which has been accurately mapped up to the present time.
