The second volume analyzes the water-sources of the Sinai peninsula, the artesian wells and natural springs of the five great oases-depressions of the Libyan Desert, the springs and bitter lakes of the Wadi
Natrun, and the chain of wells and springs along the margin of the Mediterranean from Alexandria to the western frontier.  Altogether over 1600 sources of water scattered over this vast territory are cited, and of these a very great many were inspected, necessitating journey of hundred of miles by camel or meter.  Analysis of more than 600 samples collected was carried out over a period of ten years, and altogether the work completed by the author must be regarded as a noteworthy achievement.
