Abstract
THE Libyan Desert is a never-failing source of JL archaeological material of interest and often of considerable importance. Further evidence in support of this was afforded by the account given by Mr. W. B. Kennedy Shaw before the Royal Geographical Society on January 6 of an expedition in 1935 of which he was leader. The main objective of the expedition was the further exploration of the Wadi Hawa, which west of long. 24° forms the boundary between French Equatorial Africa and the Anglo -Egyptian Sudan. East of that meridian, the Wadi has been visited only by four expeditions since 1923, and is little known, a section of fifty miles being unsurveyed and the extreme eastern end unexplored until the present occasion.
