 of the Sahara^ and was, a few Years ago, one of the Frontier

 of Precipices, running parallel with the Plains of the Be/ii Ha- '"^* 

 leefa. They are four Leagues in Length, and, if poiTible, are 

 even more rugged than Jurjura. Upon the Summit of Them, 

 there is a large Piece of level Ground, with only one narrow 

 Road leading up to It, where, for the greater Security, the 

 Welled Eifa have Their Granaries. Beyond the Welled Eifa are weiiedEifa.
