III. — MOORISH TRIBES IN TAGANET. 
Taganet is a large and well-favoured district, bordering 
towards the E. and S.E. on El Hodh, or rather the k6dia 
encircling and forming El Hodh; towards the S.W., where 
there is a considerable group of mountains bordering on Aftot, 
by which it is separated from Futa, and towards the W., or 
W.N.W., separated from A'derar by ranges of hills running 
parallel to each other, called " e' dheloa," or the ribs." 
Taganet — evidently a Berber name, contrasting as a cor-

lions and elephants, while it is fit for the camel only in 
the dry season ; and Taganet el bedha. White Taganet, 
called in Azeriye, or the language of Tishit, " Ger e' kulle," 
consisting of white desert sand, with excellent food for the 
camel, and with plantations of palm-trees in a few favoured 
spots, which contain the villages, or ksur. 
Of these there are three : — 
Tejigja, four days W.N.W. from Tishit, inhabited by 
the Idaw 'All and the Ghalli. 
E-ashid, one day from Tejigja, W.N.W., in the posses- 
sion of the Kunta. 
Kasr el Barka, the most considerable of the three, two 
days W.S.W. from Tejigja, and three days from the 
mountain-pass Nufni, which gives access to it by way 
of Aftot, likewit^e inhabited by the Kunta, who are
