We determined that the Marwah or "quartz-hill" of Umm el-Karayat was the focus and centre of the southern mining region, even as the northern culminates in the Jebel el-Abyaz. Further experience rejected the theory, and showed us half a dozen foci and centres in this true quartz-region. The main hill projects a small southern spur, also bearing traces of the miner.
The immediate objective of this, our last march, was the Bada plain, of which we first heard at Shaghab. I purposed subsequently to collect specimens of a traditional coal-mine, to which his Highness the Viceroy had attached the highest importance. Then we would march upon the Mochoura of the ancients, the mediaeval El-Marwah or Zu Marwah, the modern Marwat-cum-Aba'l-Maru.
