Six Miles to the S. E. oiDellys, not far from the Sea Shore, shurffah, rbe 

 we have the principal Village of the Shurffah, the loinnium e^'^v-'ioX 

 perhaps of the Antients ; as Tackfiht, another Village belonging to ^peui. b.'

 Ttolemy. ^f/- ^^'' 



Four Leagues farther is the little Port of the Zuf-foone, called McrseiFihm 

 The [Mers el f=^* Fahm] Tort of Charcoal, from the great .^us. ex^' 

 Quantities of It ihipped off for Algiers. There are fome Ruins o- i-^X c.' 

 at a little Diftance from the Shore, which might formerly be- 

 long to the Ruzafus of the Antients. 



Three Leagues farther is the River of Seedj Hamet ^^;'/ Kefedah. 

 Toufef, with the adjacent Dafjkras of the Kejeelah : and at the 

 fame Diftance from thence, we arrive at AJh-oime-mon-'kar , a Ani-ounc- 

 noted Promontory, where we have fome Traces of old Ruins, "^T^iZSl 

 the Vahar perhaps of Ttolemy. Five Leagues to the S. E. of ^" '°' '^'

At a fmall Diftance from the Mettfe-couhe, is the Port of ^^^^ p^^f of

 ever, in the fame Manner, by a narrow Neck of Land running 

 out into the Sea. A great Part of This Promontory was for- 

 merly faced with a Wall of hewn Stone, where there was like- 

 wife an Aquedudt for the greater Conveniency of bringing Wa-

 the Bafons, where the Water difcharged Itfelf, are deftroyed :
