_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Yearly minimal water levels of the Nile river for the years 622 to
     1281, measured at the Roda gauge near Cairo (Tousson, 1925, p.
     366-385). The data are listed in chronological sequence by row.

     The original Nile river data supplied by Beran only contained only
     500 observations (622 to 1121).  However, the book claimed to have
     660 observations (622 to 1281).  The remaining observations from
     the book were added, by hand, but the series still only contained
     653 observations (622 to 1264).

     Note, now the data consists of 663 observations (spanning the
     years 622-1284) as in original source (Toussoun, 1925).
