Abstract
IN the topographical exploration of Palestine, our countrymen have always taken a leading part. The names of Sir Charles Wilson, Sir Charles Warren, Sir Charles Watson, Col. Conder, and Canon Tristram are eminent, and the great survey of western Palestine undertaken for the Palestine Exploration Fund by Conder and Captain H. H. Kitchener (afterwards Lord Kitchener of Khartoum) is fundamental. Under the present regime, the Mandatory Power is responsible for the protection and maintenance of antiquities, and the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem has been training a new generation of excavators and explorers.
