Note 7 — Chapter I
Walter Armstrong translation
Ross came to the end of the alluvium and the commencement of the secondary formation in lat. 34°, long. 44° (Journal of Geographical Society, vol. ix. p. 446). Similarly, Captain Lynch found the bed of the Tigris change from pebbles to mere alluvium near Khan Iholigch, a little above its confluence with the Aahun (Ib. p. 472). For the point where the Euphrates enters on the alluvium, see Fraser's Assyria and Mesopotamia, p. 27.—R.
