SYRO-EGYPTIAN SOCIETY.-At tie sixth oro Dr,
meeting of the Syro-Egyptian Society, on Tuescilar" 01,
W. Camps, treasurer, in the chair—the following c°,o.
munications and papers were read by the HouorarY;',r,
cretary :—First. A short communication from 21.,
Grotelend, of Hanover, containing some interesting r.
ticulars relating to the inscriptions on the Babylol34,;#
crur&foun at Behistun, whichilie had succeeded it'll',
ciphering. Second. A communication by Dr. of
Platd, " On Monsieur Fresnel's account of the travels
Baron von Wrede in Eadhramant and other parts;
South-Western Arabia." Third. A paper "On
sumed Outlet to the Lake Wan," by Mr. W. F.
worth. In his paper the author stated that geograPJ
have been for some time aware, from local traditio.;
that the Eastern Tigris had its sources from a cave": b,
other words, from a subterranean stream. Mr. 14„rc
formerly the British consul at Baghdad, obtained it7fig
illation from the natives that where the Eastern Ti.
rises it bursts at once from a cavern in the mountfleltio
We have now the testimony of a trustworthy eye-wit
ites
to the fact, in the person of the distinguished travelJgo
and archaeologist, Mr. Layard, M.P., who, in 18", i
returned from Lake Wan and thus describes t.u.,:0
part of his journey which refers to the country betw`",,
Lake Wan and the caverned sources of the Tigre
—" We had now left the Lake of Wan, and our tP
led up a deep ravine, which gradually became more Or
row as we drew nigh to the high mountains that seed
rated us from the unexplored districts of Mukus
an
Buhtan. On both sides of the ravine were villages All-
ms
ruined castles. Numerous strea from the hill side' ,'
irrigated plots of cultivat,A o'
1 ground. After climbinllc,
a steep declivity of loose stones, like the moraine 7%1-
Swiss glacier, and drafrgin4 our horses with much
culty after us, we found ourselves amidst eternal snob'o
over which we toiled for nearly two hours, until
reached the crest of the mountain, and looked down int:/,
the deep valley of Mul; us. Tliis is considered one
the highest passes in Kurdistan. There was no other
pathway down the rocky ravine than the dry bed of the
4
torrent. Leaving, the laden horses to find their 010
over the stones and through the torrent, we passed soh
after a natural caYern, from which burst, white wit,
foam and struggling through a bed of pink flowers;
~I
most abundant spring. This was one of the princir,
sources of the eastern branch of the Tigris." The autho'
of the paper suppof e 3 that this subterranean source of 080
Eastern Tigris is lower than Lake Wan, and that it la
not at all improbable that its waters may be derive,„
from that lake, and that thus the Lake Wan is in realil
the source of the Eastern Tigris. Fourth. Mr. Sam°,
Sharpe read a paper " On the History of the Edoruite
and the City of Petra." Considerable discussion I°p
lowed upon the reading of these interesting papers, ie
which the members of the society and some of tli
visitors then present took part ; after which the meetilli
adjourned. The chairman announced that the annii'l
meeting of the society would take place on the 190
instant.
