Talab watercourse or river is entered first at 101 niiles from Gulas, its
banks here being 40 feet high with a flowing stream in the bed, 300 to 400
feet wide. Tamarisks and grass abundant. Crossing this stream the
road goes through ravines on the opposite bank, and at 13f miles again
enters the bed where the banks are still high, with low volcanic hills on
the west, and clay and shale hills on the east. At 14£ miles the bed
narrows to a width of 40 yards and grass becomes less plentiful. The
camping-ground, at which Jennings halted, is reached at 161 miles.
Excellent water in the river, and on the Gaau plain above the right bank
unlimited grass, wood, camel-grazing and water are to be found.
On the desert route from Jalk to Ladis is a halting-place of this name,
and probably on the same stream, though native report calls it the Mash-

35 miles) to Ladis. Wood, grass, grazing and water from the stream.*—
