London, Kegan Paul, 1879

Burton's second expedition to Midian resulted in increased geographical knowledge, particularly regarding the western fringe of the peninsula north of Muelah and of the interior south of that place beyond the plateau. He mapped a 600-mile route through the northern and southern Midian recording its ancient cities. For the Khedive he brought back twenty-five tons of minerals to be assayed.
