Conftantina. Tattuht feems to be the fame Name with the 

 Tadutti of the Itinerary ; and lying betwixt Lamheje and 

 Gemell^y as the antients called Tezzoute and Jhn-meelah, will 

 accordingly have the like Situation. 



The Country to the W. and N. W. oi Tattuht, at Sharla-tapj^"^^'^--^^^ 

 and Jid-meelah, is either barren, woody, or mountainous, Ji'^-^^^'^'i- 

 with little or no Water, except what is brackifh. It might 

 therefore be a proper Boundary betwixt the Mauritania Sitifen- 

 fts, and theDiftrid: oixhQCtrtefians, which, I prefume, we are^^^^-^'*"''^ 

 to look for near This Meridian. But to the E. and N. E. of^Esij. 

 Tattuht, at Tagzah and near the Fountains of the Boo-7n(ir- 

 zooke, we have a fertil Soil, with more delightful Profpe6ls; 

 and which, I conjecture, might formerly belong to the 

 Cii^teftans. 



We are now to return once more to the Weft ward and ^^ /"""'^'r 



Urv jio?i vj we 



enter upon That mountainous Part of the Mauritania Sitifenfts, S"^" ^'"" 

 which borders upon the Sahara, Four Leagues therefore to 

 S. S .W. of Seedy Emharak Ef-mati, and five to the S. of the 

 Burgh Ma-janah, is Jihbell- ate, a Part of Mount ^//^j-, which ^'''^'^^""* 

 reacheth from hence, with few or no Interruptions, as far as the 

 Jereed of the Tumfeens. This Part of It, is poirelled by the 

 Welled Ha-ded\ and at the Foot of It, towards the ^S/^^-r^/^^/^, dcd/ 

 there are fome Ruins called Burgh Smee/hah by the Arahs. aS^^'"^^" 

 After Jihhel I-ate, over againft the Country of the Sud-ratah, J^Jbd jourb- 

 we have Jihhel Jourh-fah and the Welled Ta-hanne , where J^^"^'^ '^'^" 

 The SJWed el Kafaah'] River of Canes hath It's principal Foun- ^^'""^ ^^ 

 tain. It is confiderably augmented inpaffing under the Moun- 

 tain of I-ate, from whence It inclines to the S. S. W, and wafli- 

 ing afterwards the weftern Part of the City Mefeelah, lofeth It- 

 felf in the Shott. To the Eaftward of Jihhel Jourhfah, is 

 Jihhel Sou-hillah, the chief Seat of the Welled Moufah ^^«Sh.^'" 

 Ti-jahy a numerous Clan, who lye over againft the weftern ^^^ 5^^^ 

 Encampments of the Ammer. A River of the fame Name, ''^^^^^'• 

 very rapid in the rainy Seafons, hath It's Origine among thefe 

 Mountains ; which running parallel with the Kafaah and tra- 

 verfing El Huthnah , leaves The Jow-am [rV=^] el MugrahJSiL'i^K^ 

 two j^ooriyZ; Oratories, a little to the Eaft, and emptieth Itfelf
