 not equal to one third Part of the Length. At this Place and Sher- 

 ftjell, we meet with feveral Arches and Walls of Brick, not com- 

 monly found in other Places oi Barharj> ; efpecially, where we 

 may fuppofe the Work to be Roman. The Bricks are of a fine 

 Pafte and Colour, two Inches and a half thick, and near a Foot 

 Square.

 Account, how fome of the Orthodox Citizens of Tipafa, after 

 the Brians had cut out their Tongues, were notwithftanding en- 

 dowed with the Gift of Speech, and capable to tell the Hiflory 

 of their Misfortunes. 



The Coafl, all along from Tefejff ad to Algiers, for the Breadth 

 of two or three Leagues together in fome Places, is either woody 

 or mountainous; whereby the fine Plains of the Mettijiah be- 

 hind It, are conveniently fecured from the more immediate In- 

 fluence of the Northerly Blafts of Wind from the Sea. The
