Conftatit'ina. Tattubt feems to be the fame Name with the 

 Tadutt'i of the Itinerary ; and lying betwixt Lambefe and 

 Gemellte, as the antients called Tezzoute and J'i77i-meelah^ will 

 accordingly have the like Situation. 



The Country to the W. and N. W. of Tattuht, at Sharla-taflj^'^^''^'-'^^'• 

 and Jid-meelah, is either barren, woody, or mountainous, Jid-mceiah, 

 with little or no Water, except what is brackiih. It might 

 therefore be a proper Boundary hQtWwtthQ Mauritania Sitifen- 

 /is, and theDiftrid; oi the Cirte/ians, which, I prefume, we ^.re^'^-Lf'^if^ 



* of the CjIr — 



to look for near This Meridian, But to the E. and N. E. of tesij. 

 Tatttiht, at Tagzah and near the Fountains of the Boo-mar- 

 zooke, we have a fertil Soil, with more delightful Profpeds; 

 and which , I conjedure , might formerly belong to the 

 Cirteftans. 



We are now to return once more to the Weft ward and ^'^/'"''tT 

 enter upon That mountainous Part of the Mauritania Sitif en/is, Ss'^* ^"'" 

 which borders upon the Sahara. Four Leagues therefore to 

 S. S.W. oi Seedy EmbarakEf-mati, and five to the S. of the 

 Burgh Ma- janah, \sjibbell-ate, a Part of Mount ^//^j•, which ^'^'^'^ ^''^''' 

 reacheth from hence, with few or no Interruptions, as far as the 

 Jereed of the Tunifeefis. This Part of It, is poiTeiied by the 

 Welled Ha-ded ; and at the Foot of It, towards the Sud-ratah, del ^ 

 there are fome Ruins called Burgh Smeefljah by the ^rabs. ihli}^^^^' 

 After Jibbel I-ate, over againft the Country of the Sud-ratah, Jib^d jourb- 

 we have Jibbel Jourb-j ah and the Welled Ta-banne , where ^^''^''^'^ ^^' 

 The SJVed el Kajaab'] River of Canes hath It's principal Foun- "^""^ ^i 

 tain. It is confiderably augmented inpaffing under the Moun- 

 tain of I-ate, from whence It inclines to the S. S. W, and waih- 

 ing afterwards the w eftern Part of the City Mefeelah, lofeth It- 

 felf in the Shott. To the Eaftward of Jibbel Jourb-fah, is 

 Jibbel Sou-billah, the chief Seat of the Welled Mouf ah ^έ-^Κ.^'"" 

 Ti-jah, a numerous Clan, who lye over againft the weftern^^^r^d sou- 

 Encampments of the Ammer. A River of the fame Name, ^'^'^^'• 

 very rapid in the rainy Seafons, hath It's Origine among thefe 

 Mountains ; which running parallel with the Kafaab and tra- 

 verfmg El Huthnah , leaves The Jow-am [r^^] el MugrahJSlgrTh.^^ 

 two Μοοήβ Omtorks, a little to the Eaft, and emptieth Itfelf 

 afterwards in the Shott.
