NOTE
The third volume of the Handbook of Mesopotamia includes routes
along the middle Tigris and Euphrates from Baghdad and Fellujeh
up to Mosul and Meskeneh, in the area between the rivers from
Baghdad northwards to the Jebel Sinjar, in the country east of the
middle Tigris towards the Persian frontier, and in the Syrian Desert
west of the middle Euphrates.
The present Additions and Corrections are based partly on
information dating from before the war, partly on recent intelligence
(principally of 1917 and the first months of 1918). For the routes
in the neighbourhood of the Persian frontier some Kussian informa
tion has been used ; most of it dates from before the war. Further
information on the line Mosul—Deir ez-Zor (Routes 49 a-d in
Vol. Ill of the HandhooJc) will be given in Additions and Corrections
to Vol. IV.
All estimates of mileage must be considered as approximate only.
In most cases they are based on the rough calculations of travellers,
or on times given by travellers, or on sketch-maps or incomplete
surveys. The question-marks placed beside some of the figures
indicate that these are peculiarly doubtful; it is not implied that
other figures may be regarded as exact.
It is necessary to emphasize the fact that in the circumstances the
information given cannot be complete and that conditions are con
stantly undergoing change. The Admiralty will be glad to receive
further corrections and additions.
The back of each page of text has been left blank for convenience
of use with interleaved copies of the original edition.
