Abstract
THE accompanying photograph was taken in the bed of the river Rahad, south-west of Gallabat, and only a few miles west of the Abyssinian frontier, in May, 1907. This tributary of the Blue Nile begins to come down in flood in about June, continues to flow until the beginning of winter, and after this the bed is left dry, with the exception of a series of pools in the sandy river-bed.
