Names and Places in the Old and New Testament and Apocrypha

The Index to the Old Testament Sites includes upwards of names of places in the Holy Land, Mesopotamia, Edom, the Desert of Sinai, and Egypt; being, it is believed, all those that are mentioned in the Old Testament and the Apocrypha.

The Index to the New Testament Sites contains 162 names, with references to Josephus in addition to those in the New Testament. Of these names 144 are known, IO uncertain, and 8 not identified.

The identifications suggested by Major Conder as due to the Survey are marked with a star.

There are still 290 places mentioned in the Old Testament, in the East of Jordan, the Desert and Western Palestine, Which remain to be identified. Reference is made in every case to the number of the sheet of the large and small maps on which the modern name will be found. Under the heading Remarks, ' etc., will be found fuller particulars of the proposed site from the Memoirs of' Western Palestine.'
