The Isthmus is seventy-two miles in width. The pools or lakes, above alluded to, are found principally on the south side, occupying the bottom of a valley about twelve miles wide, to the north of Suez, which is only divided from the sea by a narrow strip of land, and may have been, not improbably, once filled by the sea, as the lowest level of its waters is fifty feet below that of the surface of the Red Sea. To the north the surface of the country falls toward the Mediterranean, and the valley of Egypt. It was formerly thought that the level of the waters of both the sea and the river was lower than those of the Eed Sea; the surveys of Mr. Stephenson, however, have shown that of the two seas to be the same, and leave little doubt that the vall...
