 the B^,za \_Colonia\ of the Antients, placed by Them imme- 

 diately after the Great Tort\ and therefore not far, as we may 

 conjedlure, from This Pofition.

Water, which hath It's Sources at a Furlong s Diftance from 

 the Sea; but there is no River, properly fo called, nearer than 

 the Wed el Mailah, on the one Side ; or the Si^, on the other. 

 This River therefore, which hath hitherto fo much perplexed 

 the antient Geography ', appears to be altogether imaginary ; 

 efpecially in This Situation, where we are directed to look 

 for It. 

 Canaftei. Advancing four Leagues farther towards the N. N. E. we 

 pafs by the fmall Village of the Canajiel, pleafantly lituated 

 in the Midft of a fpacious Grove of Olive Trees, and at the 

 Foot of a high Range of Mountains. The Gulphs of Warran 

 and Arzew are feparated by This Ridge; which reacheth as 

 jibbei Ker. far as Jibhel Ker to the Southward, and ends in the Ca-pe Per^ 

 ratt towards the Sea. Ker is a round pointed Eminence, a little 

 upon the left Hand, in travelling from Warran to Arzew. The 

 J^rahs place It among the chief Haunts of This Province, for 

 the Lyon, and Wild-Boar ; the Prints of whofe Feet, we did 

 indeed often meet with, in traverfing the Thickets of the fmall 

 adjacent Valleys.

 Sail, ftands out, at a fmall Diftance before It, in the Sea. 

 The Port of Twelve Miles to the S.S.E. of This Cape, is the Port of ^r-
