f6 Geographical Ohfervations in the Inland Parts 



Swamma of Mindafs^ according to the Name of the circumja- 

 cent Country. 



Nador. Nador, a confiderable Town of the Gatuli/in Arahs, twenty 



Miles to the S. of Swatnma, is built in the Sahara, upon a Chain 



Mons Ma- of Mountains, which we may take for the Mons Malethubalus 



Lvs. Exc. of Ttolemy. Below It is the River Su-jellim, which, after It 

 hath paiTed Gojeeda, is drunk up by the fandy Countrv, and be- 

 comes Rapjig, as the Arahs term It, i.e. runs no further; a 

 Circumftance common to other Rivers in Barhary, and which 



Evf.p.g.E. Straho was long ago acquainted with. 



Go^jeeda. Go-jeeda, fituated upon the fame Ridge of Eminences with 

 Nador y at the Diftance of fix Leagues to the E. bj S. fliould be 

 the Guagida of Sanfon, placed by him fifty three Miles to the 

 S. of Warran, and eighty to the S. E. of Tlemfan : though 

 This I am fpeaking of, lyeth more than a hundred Miles to the 

 E. ky S. ofTlemJan, and nearly at the like Diftance to the S.E. 



V0I.4.P.11T. of Warran. The Atlas Geographti^s maketh the Guagida of 

 "Dapper and San [on to be the fame ; whereas the former, in 

 being placed nine Miles to the Southward of the Mediterranean 

 Sea, and almoft as much to the Weftward o^ Tlemfan, (though 

 both thefe Numbers are deficient) muft be the Woojeda of the 

 Tingitanians. 



Meiatte. Upon the Banks of the Arhenv, fix Leagues to the E. oiTa- 

 gadempt, and ten to the N. of Gojeeda, are the Ruins of Me-

 another Heap of Ruins.

 ther to the Northward, near the Meridian of Tarrum, may be 

 taken for Meratte, or Lo-ha. But for Want of Infcriptions and 

 other Circumftances to guide us. This as well as other Difficul- 

 ties of the like Nature, muft be left undetermined. 

 The sweedc. Thc fcrtil Country below the Parallel of Lo-ha, is cultivated 

 by the Sweede or Swidde, the moft powerful Tribe of Arabs
