Extract

It is remarkable that in this district so accessible to geologists and visited by so many observers, the presence of these beds has not hitherto been noted. When it is understood that the point where the main area occurs is only between 8 and 9 kilometres from Cairo, and lies immediately to the north of the Petrified Forest—a place visited by nearly all the travellers who come to Cairo—one is apt to doubt whether geologists have ever seriously examined this district.
