Geographical Ohfervations upon the Sea-Coaft of that Part 

 of the Mauritania Ccefarienfis and Numidia, which 

 is called at prefent the Eafiern Province or the Province 

 of Conftantina. 



Τ His Province, lying betwixt the Meridians of the Rivers w^ general 

 Booherak and Zaine, is nearly equal to the other two ; fht7rov"Ji. 

 being upwards of CCXXX Miles in Length, and more than a 

 Hundred in Breadth. The Tribute likewife colleoted by This 

 Viceroy, is much greater, than that of the other Two ; inaf- 

 much as the Titterie Bey brings only every Year into the Trea- 

 fury οι Algiers about twelve thoufand Dollars, and the weftern 

 Bey, forty or fifty thoufand ; whereas there is paid in by the 

 Viceroy of this Province never lefs than eighty and fometimes 

 a hundred Thoufand. 



The Sea Coaft of this Province from the Booherak to Boujeiah, The sea coafi 

 and from thence almoft entirely to Bona, is mountainous and '^^'"'"''""'"''• 

 rocky, anfwering very appofitely to the Title of \_El Adwah

 It may be obferved at the fame Time , that the Province of 

 Andalufia in S^ain cannot, as that Author affirmeth, be either 

 difcovered from hence, or from the moft weftern Part of this 

 Kingdom.
