 Mountains of the Beni Ahefs. The other principal Branch o^otherBran- 

 This River hath If s Fountains a little to the N. of Seteef, and' "''^''' 

 taking afterwards a large Sweep to the S.W. leaves the Plains of 

 Caffir Attyre, and runsdireftly to the Northward. Hitherto 

 It is called the Wed el Boofellaniy containing a Number of ex- 

 cellent Fifli, not unlike in Shape, though more favory in Tafte, 

 than our Barhel. Six Leagues farther, the Ajehhy give Their 

 Name to This River ; which, advancing other fix Leagues in the 

 lame Dire6tion, unites the Wed Ad-oufe , and is called Sum-

 Country along the feveral Branches of This River, is very rocky

 Calamities are fuftained by the Inhabitants upon every Inunda-

 The greateft Part of the Plank and Timber made ufe of in the 

 Docks oi Algiers, is fhipped off from the Man fou-reah, which, 

 as It immediately followeth the Nafa^va, may be the Sifaris of
