Abstract
THE latest publication of the Public Works Ministry of Egypt is of more than usual interest, for it not only appears at a time when work is being resumed after being stopped, or at least largely restricted, during the war, but it also sets forth a large collection of data relating to projects which have met with criticism in some quarters during the last three years. A year ago the Nile Projects Commission was appointed to report upon the physical data upon which the engineering plans were based, and this Commission has now unanimously accepted Sir Murdoch MacDonald's evidence and approved his designs for the series of irrigation works described in the report before us.
