 sxxv ji//.. here, that feem neceflary to be made from the r. laid down 

 IfPtoicmy-s by the fame Author, betwixt his C^farea and Saldps (the pre- 

 Sir "^ i^ntBoujeiah',) Crefarea will have the Pofition, I have here 

 given It, at Sher-fjell. For, the true Diftance of the Meri- 

 dian at Arzew from That οϊ Bouje'iah, being (a little more or 

 lefs) CCXC Roman Miles, there will be only about XXXV for 

 one of His Degrees of Longitude; according to which Account, 

 CX Miles ( anfwering to 3". 10'. ) fhould be the proportional 

 Parts, as within five or fix Miles they aftually are, betwixt the 

 Meridians of ^rzew and Sher-pjell.

 7el """^"' the River Ampfaga, maketh the Roman Miles much ihorter 

 than They are generally computed ; and thereby will furniili us 

 with another Argument for the Proof of w hat we are endea- 

 vouring to afcertain. For the true Diftance being DCCCXXI, 

 the CCCXXII afiigned by Him for that Portion of the Mauri- 

 tani(e lying betwixt Cafarea and the River Ampfaga, will be 

 reduced to CCLX ; which,by Obfervation, I find to be the Num- 

 ber of iVIiles betwixt the 'Kxyqx Ampfaga (or Great River as It is 

 now called) and Sher-fjell. 

 ΛΰγΗαΠι- The Country round about This City is of the utmoft Ferti- 

 lity, and exceedingly well watered. We crofs the Brooks Naf- 

 fara, Billach, and fome others, before we come to the Ηαβ- 

 em, the moft confiderable of Them, at the Diftance of feven 

 SzI'l a Miles from Sher-fiell to the E. The Billack runs by Jim-mell, 

 £Av.p.ii.F. an old ruined Town, the Chozala perhaps oiTtolemy, fituated 

 under a high rocky Precipice, four Miles to the S.S.E. of Sher- 

 fiell, and at the like Diftance to the W. hy N. of the Foun- 

 tains of the Hafj-em. A little Way to the Northward of

 to interrupt the Incurfions of the Beni MenaJJer. Nothing 

 certainly can be more entertaining, than That Variety of Pro- 

 fpedls, we every where meet with, all over this delightful Coun- 

 try.
