PREFACE.

THIS Index has been compiled from the Old and NewTestament and Apocrypha, the alterations in the Revised

Version being noted in their places; from the Memoirs and

Name Lists of the Survey of Western Palestine;

from that

portion which is completed (as yet unpublished) of the1 Memoirs and Name Lists of the Survey of Eastern

Palestine; from Smith s Bible Dictionary; from the list

drawn up by Sir George Grove for Clarke s Bible Atlas

(S.P.C.K.); and from Conder s Handbook to the Bible

and Primer of Bible Geography/ with numerous references

to the Quarterly Statements. The identifications adopted

are those that will be found on the new maps (to be issued

about the end of this year) of the Old and New Testament,

covering both sides of the Jordan, and authorized by Colonel

Sir Charles Wilson and Major Conder, R.E.

The Index to the Old Testament Sites includes upwardsof 1,150 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 (Whiston s), in addition

to those in the New Testament. Of these names 144 arc

known, 10 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 mapson 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.
