Of\nthese names 144 are known, 10 uncertain, and 8 not identified.\n\nThe identifications suggested by Major Conder as due to the Survey are\nmarked with a star.\n\nThere are still 290 places mentioned in the Old Testament, in the East of\nJordan, the Desert and Western Palestine, which remain to be identified.\nReference is made in every case to the number of the sheet of the large\nand small maps on which the modern name will be found. Under the heading\n\u2018Remarks,\u2019 etc., will be found fuller particulars of the proposed site\nfrom the \u2018Memoirs of Western Palestine.\u2019\n\n G.
