Starting in December 1930, Mr. Bertram Thomas made the crossing of the Rub' al Khali, the desert region of Arabia lying between the mountains of the south coast and the Persian Gulf. Never before had this desert been crossed by any European, and probably rarely even by Arabs. The material collected on this expedition has been presented by Mr. Thomas for preservation in the British Museum.
