ABSTRACT
T HE Amirate of Transjordan lies between latitudes 29° 20' N. at Kalat Mudauwara in the south and 33° 25' N. near Jebel Tinf in the north-east; and between longitudes 35° E. at Akaba in the southwest and 39° E. near Jebel Aneiza in the east. These are the extreme limits, for south of Jebel Aneiza the breadth from west to east contracts considerably. On the west the frontier marches with Palestine; on the north with Syria; on the north-east, between Jebel Tinf and Jebel Aneiza, a distance of about 75 miles, with Iraq; on the southeast and south with Saudi Arabia.
