Abstract
IN the scientific world, Syria is gaining prominence chiefly with several, important botanical studies made by the botanists of the Hebrew University at Jerusalem, where a representative Syrian collection has been compiled in the Herbarium, and by several expeditions of naturalists in the British Army who have collected specimens of fauna and flora for the British Museum under an Army organization known as the Middle East Biological Scheme. There are four great deserts in the Middle or Near East Sinai, Negeb (Palestine), Judea and the adjacent Ghor (the 'Avrah), southern Iraq and the Syrian desert (which includes part of Transjordania) – available for investigation.
