jlfei' ^;r°"^* t yije/, the ^i/^i/i of the Antients, lyeth a little beyond the 

 ExJ^fhid'.' Cape that formeth the Eaftern Boundary of the Gulph of Bou- 

 jetah. There is nothing left us of this antient City, but a few 

 miferable Houfes and a fmall Fort, where the Turks have a 

 Garrifon of one Suffrah. It will not, I prefume, be difputed 

 that Boujeiah and Jijel are the Salda and Igilgilt of the An- 

 tients : though it may be difficult to reconcile the thirteen 

 Leagues, which, in coafting, we find betwixt Them, with the 

 x. oiTtolemy and the ninety three Roman Miles oi the It me- 

 rary. Ttolemy likewife placeth Igilgili half a Degree to the 

 Southward oi Saldce, in a Situation contrary to that of our 

 Jijel, which lyeth ix'. more to the Northward. 

 BeniBc-ieit. The Bcni Be-leit have Their Dajhhras betwixt Jijel and The 

 \JVed el Ki'beer\ Great River, which falleth into the Sea, feven 

 Leagues to the E. or a little beyond the half Way between 

 River S Jijel and Cull. It is made up of a Number of Branches, like

meelah, in the fame Diredion nearly with the Wed el DJahahy 

 but at little more than forty Miles Diftance. The other princi- 

 pal Contributions are from the Wed el Hammam, twenty Miles 

 to the W. of Confiantina : from the Sigan, fifteen Miles to 

 the S. W. from Thyfgeah, at the like Diftance to the S. and from 

 the Springs of Hydrah, about half that Diftance, to the S. E. 

 The Union of the Wed el Hammam and Sigan , with fome 

 fmall Rills fxomJibhelWoofgar, make The {Wed el Rummelot 

 ^(>j el Rum-malah~\ Sandy River ; as the other Two, with their ad- 

 Rummd. ditional Rills, conftitute the Boo-Mar-zooke, fo named from 

 Boo-mar- the Marah-hutt, whofe Tomb It runs by. A Furlong to the S. 

 zooke. ^£ Confiantina, the Rummel joyns the Boo-Mar-zooke, where 

 They begin jointly to have the Name, fometimes of Suf-jim- 

 mar, fometimes of Rummel, though the Latter is moft com-

 a Bridge of Roman Workmanftiip. Three Miles farther is the 

 Influx of the Hammah, a lukewarm Stream, which fwells the 

 Rummel to the Bignefs of our Cherwell. It afterwards re-
