The Sudd. 305 This is generally laborious work, as there is not much current to act on the sudd, and in consequence it takes longer to get it away.

In cutting the trenches care should be taken to cut or saw through all roots.

(For further details of the sudd, see H.B.S., pp. 4 and 207 to 213 inclusive (Dr. Junker's account); Sir W. Garstin's invaluable reports (Egj-pt Blue Books No. 5 of 1899, pp. 15 to 19, No. 2 of 1901, pp. 34 to 43, and No. 2 of 1904) ; Major Peake's Reports, 1900 ; and Mr. Broun's Note, 27.4.03 — from all of which, besides some original work by the Editor, the above description has been compiled.)
