This Index has been compiled from the Old and New Testament and Apocrypha, the alterations in the Revised Version being noted in their places; from the Memoirs and Name Lists of the Survey of Western Palestine from that portion which is completed (as yet unpublished) of the Memoirs and Name Lists of the Survey of Eastern Palestine from Smith's 'bible Dictionary;' from the list drawn up by Sir George Grove for Clarke's 'bible Atlas' and from Conder's 'handbook to the Bible' and Primer of Bible Geography,' with numerous references to the Quarterly Statements.' The identifications adopted are those that will be found on the new maps (to be issued about the end of this year) of the Old and New Testament, covering both sides of the Jordan, and authorized by Colonel Sir Charles Wilson and Major Conder, r.e. The Index to the Old Testament Sites includes upwards of names of places in the Holy Land, Mesopotamia, Edom, the Desert of Sinai, and Egypt; being, it is believed, all those that are mentioned in the Old Testament and the Apocrypha. The Index to the New Testament Sites contains 162 names, with references to Josephus in addition to those in the New Testament. Of these names I44 are known, IO uncertain, and 8 not identified. The identifications suggested by Major Conder as due to the Survey are marked with a star. There are still 290 places mentioned in the Old Testament, in the East of Jordan, the Desert and Western Palestine, which remain to be identified. Reference is made in every case to the number of the sheet of the large and small maps on which the modern name will be found. Under the heading Remarks,' etc., will be found fuller particulars of the proposed site from the Memoirs of' Western Palestine.'
