We are here evidently standing on the ancient sea-margin, and at an elevation of 220 feet above the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The presence of the beach has been detected in other places along the hills by Dr. Schweinfurth, and the Teredo borings have also been observed by him in the limestone platform on which is built the Mosque of Mehemet Ali. The level of this sea-beach corresponds pretty nearly with that on the opposite bank of the Nile Valley. It is clear, from its relations to the solid limestone strata, that the Eocene beds had been elevated, and worn back into a line of bold cliffs, marking the limits of the Pliocene Sea in this direction, and that the channel of the Nile Valley itself had been 'Geol.
