Tbe author concludes : " These are the provinces, as we have enumer- 

 ated them, and this is the amount of revenue which they yield. We 

 stated the average ; sometimes it is in some places larger, sometimes 

 less. We pay no attention to these fluctuations, they are due to the 

 want of good administration. The reader will find that the whole 

 revenue which we have enumerated amounts to about 4,920,000 Dy- 

 nars, which make, at the present rate of exchange, the Dynar at 15 

 Dirhams, 73,800,000 Dirhams."
