Sketches in the Soudan: Abu Haras, in Kordofan, near El Obeid, 1883. 'The chief towns of Kordofan are El Obeid, the capital, near which the late disastrous battle was fought, and Bara, on the north road. The Austrian geographer and traveller, Ernst Marno, who died not long since, was in Kordofan in 1874 and 1875; and from his "Reise in der AEgyptischen AEquatorial-Provinz und in Kordofan," published at Vienna in 1878, we borrow a view of El Obeid, and one of Abu Haras, which lies south-west of that town'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
