insight they give us into the private transactions of the country, but the dates on them confirm and settle the succession of the monarchs, and thus assist in establishing the chronology of the kingdom.The contract tablets in The Daily Telegraph collection belong to the periods of Esar-baddon, who reigned at Babylon from B C 681 to 668 ; his son, Sanl-mugina, who reigned from B C 668 to 646 ; and Nebuchadnezzar, the great monarch who led the Jews into captivity, destroyed the Temple of Solomon, and resigned B C 605 to 562.Others are of the time of Nabonidas, a Babylonian who was elected king in B C 556, on the mur- side.The moon now rose clear and bright over the scene, and seemed to light up the upper parts of the mountains, but gave only a faint and uncertain gleam in the ravines and clefts along which we travelled, in some places even making the shadows eppear deeper.Towering rocks, precipices, caverns, ami waterfalls were passed one after the other, the night making all these objects far more impressive than they would have been in the day.On reaching the plain north of the mountains we saw in the moonlight the rugged outlines of the Jebel Djudi, the mountains on which, according to Assyrian inscriptions, the Ark rested.I knew that between the place where we stood and the Jebel Djudi the river Khabur.flowed, so we turned our horses to reach and cross it.We rode through a vast field of wild plants, the smell from which was most fragrant ; but they were very thick, and rose so high that they over-tnpped us as we sat on our horses ; so we turned to the left, wandering along by the base of Jebel Abjad, until we reached a Kurdish village, and gave up the attempt to cross the Khubur at night.At dawn of the 12th of June we forded the river, and passed by most romantic scenery ; we rode along an old bed of the river Tigris, vast waterworn elifts and rocks standing on either side, some of them worn into shapes curiously like the artificial mounds which now line the banks of the stream.On riding up out of this hollow we came to a very fine scene ; there was an old ruined station, lovely wild flowers, and a small waterfall, which exceeded in beauty anything of the sort which I had seen.Passing from here we rode along a ledge In the rocks on the east bank of the Tigris.Here this river is slowly eating its way, catting out vast fragments of rock, which lay about in this side of the stream We descended from the rocks on to the sands, and passed up to the bridge of boats at Djezireb, crossing about half-past nine in the moraing, to put up at the house of my friend, M.Coste Georgiadis, where I once more met Mr.Kerr.hen we lost our way on the Jebel Abjad wo parted company with Iho luggage, and had to wait at Djtzlreh until it arrived.M.Costi would not let me go without an entertainment, so be directed a lamb to bo killed, stuffed, aud roasted whole, which we enjoyed in some gardens outside the city.From the top of the house of M.Costi I had a good view of Djezireb and the neighbourhood.The houses consist principally of mud walls thatched with earth and sticks, the roofs being flat lor the inhabitants to sleep upon in summer.The whole position on which the city stands has been cat down to its present level by the action of the rivers, the town lying in a hollow, where a tributary joins the Tigris.On the other side of the Tigris, above the cliffs, rises a swelling range of bills, and behind these towered the dark peaks of the Jebel Djndi, the traditions of the country still pointing this out as the scene of the descent from the Ark ; while a village in the valley is said to be the place where Noah first planted the vine.I was told that bitumen and coal had been found on the Jebel Djudi, and there were rumours that Government was mining for the latter.The East is always full of absurd reports ; and a story was related just then that one of the miners working in the mountain had suddenly come on an ancient door buried in the earth, but they had telegraphed to Constantinople before venturing to open it.At six o\u2019cloc k in the evening of the 13th of Jane I left Djezireb, and ascending a winding pass, had a beautiful view of the valley below.Through it wound a stream, on which the evening light produced some very pretty effects.We passed along undulating plains, strewn here and there with glacial boulders, and going by Tellibel, where I had stopped on my journey out, we arrived at Deruneh.Deruneh is a miserable village, and the people seem as ugly as the place.On the evening of the 14th of Jane wo started from Deruneh, to reach Nisibin.As we rode through the night, we saw all along the south, numerous conflagrations.The people of the village were burning the fields, that there might be no forage for the wandering Ara^s, for there is perpetual hostility between the inhabitauts of the towns and those of the desert.On the north of the road was a range of mountains, which ran along to Mardin, and there were numerous villages on every side, with many tels, or mounds, marking the sites of old towns.I travelled after dark, to avoid as much as possible the heats of the day, and enjoyed on most nights splendid views of jthe stars.Venns rose in the morning like a lamp, far more beautiful than the appearance of this planet In England ; the clearness of the atmosphere in the East being in marked con trast to our own.We arrived at Nisibin in the morning, and found the place presenting a much better aspect than on the occasion of my former visit in the winter.At Nisibin.there are considerable mounds belonging to the Assyrian period, and some ruins of a later age ; these, however, I only saw in passing.I left the city on the evening of the 15tb, riding until two o\u2019clock in the afternoon of the next day, when I reached Danasar.My horse had fallen lame, which made the journey much longer than it ought to have been.At Dinasar there are numerous remains, including a vast arti-Ucial mound.At about half-past three in the afternoon of the 17th we left this place, and, taking a bad road to Varunsba, went over one of the roughest stretches of country I had seen.The whole ground was covered with what appeared to be worn glacial boulders ; they were of a black colour, and so pitted with holes that the country looked as if it had been covered by a layer of enormous cinders.Riding over these, hour after hour, was by no means comfortable work, and we were glad to reach Varensha, the end of this stage.Here the Turkish officer in charge eu- MA R A V I L I.A
