Christmas-day of 1877 dawned with a very heavy rain, which continued, off and on, to the 28th. As the streets of Baghdad con- sist of nothing but soft earth, the mud on these occasions is ankle- deep. No one can believe that the streets of such an important city as Baghdad, which is considered to rank next to none in the Ottoman dominions after Constantinople, are left in that state, instead of being properly paved. It would cost very little to render them proof against wet, by having them pave...d either with stone or asphalt, seeing that the majority of the streets are not more than eight or ten feet wide. Bitumen is abundant in the neighborhood of Baghdad, and there can be no difficulty in utilizing it and making it stand the hot weather in those regions. Having had satisfactory interviews with the governor-general in connection with my mission, I hastened back to Mossul to com- mence my other duty in behalf uf the trustees of the British Museum. I set out on my long journey at eleven o'clock, on the 29th of December, 1877.
