Abstract
THROUGH the co-operation of Dr. Alexander Cruickshank, senior medical inspector of the Equatorial Province of the Sudan, and of my son, Lieut.-Colonel F. O. Cave, I am able to give some recent particulars of 'Wayland's crossing', or the dry crossing of the Nile. Dr. Cruickshank visited it last Easter and took photographs of it, one of which is reproduced herewith. The width of the river is about 80 yards, and the width of the crossing from its upstream to its downstream edge is approximately 250 yards.
