Thence it runs generally gnuth by Jebel Benefer ( 16° 30' N.) to Jebel Anderaib ( 13° 14' N.). Crossing the Wad Gash it then runs tothe bend of the Setit opposite the mouth of the Khor Royan ( 14° 15 ' N. ) : From this point the frontier between the Sudan and Abyssinia runs south -south -west to the Atbara at Gallabat, thence south to Jebel Magbara, where it turns and runs west for 35 miles to the Rahad .
