Note 89 — Chapter XVIII · INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COURSE OF THE BAHR-ABIAD (WHITE NILE). — ANTIQUITIES OF KORDOFAN. — BANDANIANIAM.[89]

The information I was able to collect was communicated to the celebrated French traveller, Antoine d’Abbadie, who laid it before the Academy in Paris and the Geographical Society in London; by the latter it was subsequently published in the Athenæum, of 18th January 1840. As regards the White Nile, more accurate information may now have been obtained through the expedition sent in the year 1840, for the third time, by Mehemed Ali, to trace the river to its source.
