Temperature.—The highest teni])erature is met with on the])lains of the Sudan and here we find also the greatest range of tem-perature since the dry clear air allows rapid radiation at night. Inthe Samhar high temperatm-es also occur but the air is damp from theproximity of the sea and the range is nnich less. Wad Medani onthe Blue Nile, and Massaua on the Red Sea are typical stations of thesetwo areas. Wad MeSani. (i;t()2-1904).Lat. 14- 24 N. ;W ;il R. Alt. 41(I IVt. Milt. Krgnnziiiitslieft, No. 97.
