Accompanying his narrative with a vivid map of the ancient district of Olba, placing several ruined villages, temples and fortresses, revered explorer and archaeological Theodore Bent examines the ancient region known as Cilicia Tracheia, meticulously inspecting even small sites.

Bent's first-hand account describes physical evidence from the Byzantine Empire, and the contemporary Yuruk or Yörük nomads with whom he interacted.

The author endeavors to clear up the mystery surrounding the long lost ancient oasis 'Zerzura' in the Libyan Desert. He provides a succinct lucid account accompanied by a spectacular fold-out map including routes traveled in his quest for knowledge and discovery. In hope of finding the lost oasis of Zerzura, in 1929 Major Bagnold and his expedition team had explored extensive regions west and south-west of Ain Dalla. The Zerzura was not found. Several others followed in pursuit of answering the age old mystery. The mythical city or oasis, Zerzura, 'the oasis of fluttering birds' described in old manuscripts dating as far back as the 13th century, is rumoured to have existed in the desert west of the Nile River in Egypt or Libya. This disputed oasis situated in the regions of the Libyan desert has long been a topic of hot controversy and debate.

This is one of the most comprehensive and valuable report on the Libyan Desert, in which the author attempts to elucidate some of the important questions and problems concerning depressions, oases, and water supplies, accompanied by many incredible photographic plates and a spectacular large fold-out colour map of the Libyan Desert showing surface-relief, contours of static underground water-levels, distribution of sand-dunes, as well as routes of principal exploratory expeditions in the west and south including those of Rohlfs in 1874&1879, Hodgson in 1901, Comyn in 1906, Harding King in 1911, Ball & Moore in 1917, Mrs. Forbes & Ahmed Hassanein in 1920, Ahmed Hassanein in 1923, Bruneau de Laborie in 1923, and Prince Kemal el Din in 1925&1926. The fascinating subjects discussed in this extensive report include: whether the Nile, or a branch of it, ever flow through the Libyan Desert to the west of the present Nile Valley; origin of the depressions; the possibility of utilization of depressions in the Libyan Desert for irrigation, drainage, or hydraulic power; the origin of the artesian water supplies of the Egyptian oases of Baharia, Kharga, Dakhla, and Farafra; permanence of lakes and salt-marshes occupying the depressions of Areg, Bahrein, Sittra, and Qattara; whether the present water-supplies of the Mediterranean littoral can be supplemented by artesian borings; the possibility of the artesian water supplies of the oases diminishing; mysterious "Zerzura, or Oasis of the Blacks"; the possibility of traveling in Great Tracts of the waterless Libyan Desert by the sinking of new wells; the "Tortoise Marshes" of Ptolemy; the sand-dunes; and the distribution of stone implements. Also with references to the Pottery Hill, found by Dr. Ball in 1917, and Prince Kemal el Din's expeditions in 1923 and 1925
Narrative is 53 pages, plus black and white photographic plates, and a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 11 x 9 inches (28 x 23cm). In original condition, published in two separate consecutive monthly issues of the Geographical Journal. Seldom found in such very good condition, two complete issues with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Major Bagnold's third journey into the Libyan Desert concentrated on three relatively broad fields of inquiry that included the area's series of geological events; the compilation of a fairly complete account of the series of strata present and the examination of sand sheets. Also features Sandford's geology and geomorphology of the southern Libyan desert; a section dedicated a history of the area's rainfall; sand and sand dunes: the Malha crater; the barchan dune; whalebacks, undulations or billows; sand drifts, as well as fascinating appendices relating to ornithology, entomoloy, botany, cartography, barometric altitudes, transport arrangements, food and costs of the expedition.

Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a detailed first-hand expedition report of discoveries made by accomplished Libyan Desert explorer Ralph A. Bagnold. Although retired from the military since 1935, Bagnold remained a desert explorer. With the aid of the Egypt Exploration Society, in 1938 Bagnold organized his most ambitious scientific expedition to the Gilf Kebir and Uweinat. While on this venture, fellow explorers, Hans Winkler, recorded rock art at Karkur Talh, and Oliver Myers excavated two main neolithic sites in the Gilf Kebir, in Wadi Bakht and Ard al Akhdar. Bagnold and Shaw also discovered a new rock art site in Karkur Murr, and one also in Wadi Abd el Melik in the Gilf Kebir. With contributions by Bagnold's expedition members Myers, Peel and Winkler, this comprehensive dissertation is clearly outlined in sections dealing with the Sir Robert Mond expedition, archaeological work - specifically of Palaeolithic sites and later sites, on rock-drawings and paintings, Tibu (Guraan Remains), dramatic features and craters of the Gilf Kebir, rock pictures at Uweinat, Sand Movement and Dunes, and a section describing logistics such as transport, navigation and supplies. This is Bagnold's preliminary reveal of critical findings, which precedes the release of his book, 'The Physics of Blown Sand and Desert Dunes' which was not published until 1941. A marble plaque in memory of Bagnold's 1938 Egypt Exploration Society's Expedition was later placed along the Tropic of Cancer at Gilf Kebir by the Zarzora Expedition.
