. Mount Seir, Sinai and western Palestine. Being a narrative of a scientific expedition . ed by theroute suggested by the Rev. F. W. Holland, and which was also followedthroughout a great part of its course by our own Expedition. Mr.Hollaad supposes that the Israelites, after leaving Jebel MAsa (Hoieb), marched northwards, and after traversing the grand gorge of the Wddyel Watiyeh, turned to the east along the valleys of Zillegah and El Ain.Tui-ning northwards they entered the region of the Tih, by the Wady elAtiyeh ; and then proceeding onwards across the great jalains of lime-stone reached their halting-place at Kadesh Barnea. The whole distancewould be about 150 miles (English), and for eleven days would be atthe rate of nearly fourteen miles per day. That Kadesh Bamea must have been a place of note in the days of the It is too much to suppose that Moses was exposed during forty days to thefury of a volcano in active eruption !- Deut. i, 2.•* Numb, xxxir, 4.^ Kadesh Barnea (18St).

Owing, however, to some cause not stated, but probably that of a prolongeddrought, the flow of water failed during the second visit of the Israelites, previous to their march to the Promised Land ; and the Loi-d commandedMoses and Aaron to assemble the people before the rock facing the camp, and to speak to the rock, that it might give forth water for the peopleand their cattle. Instead of speaking to the rock, Moses struck it withhis staff twice, and having failed to sanctify the Lord in the eyes of thechildren of Israel, he and Aaron were condemned to die before enteringthe Promised Land. The account here seems to agree with the topo-graphical
