1 8 Geographical Ohfervations upon the Sea Coafl 



The Moun- It Will bc difficult, from the Uniformity and the little Inter- 

 ^'ruption there is amongft thefe Mountains, to diftinguilh that 

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

 nuation of Mount Alias. The Coaft and the Sahara in fonie 

 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, Fruitfulnefs, or 

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

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

 through this Province by thofe of Souf elTell, Tafarowf, Ell- 

 calla, Benizerwall, Merjeja, Elcadara, and Miliana\ confpi- 

 cuous all along from the great Number of Plains through which 

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

 feven Miles only to the Weftward of Siga, will anfwer well 

 enough to This Place. But the Diftance betwixt Lemnis and 

 Artijiga^ and indeed, the whole Diftance betwixt the Maha 

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

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

 be made Here of the Number of Miles afligned to particular 

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