1 8 Geographical Ohfervations upon the Sea Coafl 



Tke Moun- \t Will bc difficult, froiii the Uniformity and the little Inter- 

 '"'■'"'""^■^'''"ruption there is aniongft thefe Mountains, to diftinguiili that 

 particular Chain of them, which we may take for the Conti- 

 nuation of iMount ylilas. The Coaft and the Sahara in fome 

 Places, have each of Them large Borders of Mountains; and 

 the Midland-Parts are no lefs diverfified with others, not infe- 

 riour to the former, either in their Height, Fruitfuhiefs, or 

 Number of Inhabitants. However, as the Mountains of Sach- 

 ratam lye the neareft to the Sahara, and are continued quite 

 through this Province by thofe of Souf el Tell, Tafarowy, Ell- 

 calla, Benizerwall, Merjeja, Elcadara, and Miliaria ; confpi- 

 cuous all along from the great Number of Plains through which 

 we pafs : Thefe feem to carry with them the greateft Pretence, 

 and Appearance of being a Part of That noted Ridge of Moun- 

 tains. — But to purfue the Method we are in. 

 Twunter TwvNT, tlic Frontier Village of the ^Igerines to the Sea, 

 Ev.yj.'a^ F. is fituated about feven Leagues to the E.N.E. oiMaifearda, and 

 hath a fmall Fort. The Artifiga of the Itinerary, lying twenty 

 feven Miles only to the Weftward of Siga, will anfwer w^ell 

 enough to This Place. But the Diftance betwixt Lemnk and 

 ^rtijiga\ and indeed, the whole Diftance betwixt the Maha 

 and Siga, as it is laid down in the Itinerary, fo much exceeds 

 what it aolually is, that little or no Account, I prefume, can 

 be made Here of the Number of Miles affigned to particular 

 Places, fo as to be fure of the Situation of any one of them. 

 Cape Hone, Cape Hone , called like wife Ras Hunneine and Me Hack by 

 neine, or thc Inhabitants, lyes about four Leagues to the N.E. of Twunt^ 

 and is a Continuation of the Mountains of Trara. As This is 

 the largeft and one of the moft confpicuous Promontories to 

 uiyc i«p-7.i- the Eaftward of the Mtdlooia, we may take It for the Great 

 Tnum Pro- Tromontorf oiTtolemy, which he places in This Pofition, though 

 p.°ii!c. "' a few Miles more to the Weftward of Siga, than I find It. The 

 little Port Hunneine"^ , the C^cili perhaps of the Itinerary, lyes 

 a fmall Way within the Cape-, and from Hunneine, for five 

 Leagues, as far as Tackum-hreet and the Influx of the Tafna, 

 the Shore retires towards the S.E, 



AcRA inf. Over aeainft the Mouth of the Tafna, is the ^cra of Scy-
