Having taken four heights of the sun, I found by my 
chronometer the longitude to be 23> of time W. from 
Tangier, which agreed very well with my geodesical 
estimation. Observing with the meridian the passage 
of the moon, I found the latitude to be 35° 11' 44" N. 
which differed very little from my other calculation; but 
I rely on the observation as it was fortunately made. 
At nine o'clock, 20' in the evening, my thermometer 
in an open tent was at 13°* and the hygrometer at 64°. 
The spot where we encamped for the night was in- 
tended for a public market, which is held there every 
Tuesday; it is nothing but an open field, without the 
least mark of distinction. The neighbouring douar 
was called Daraizana; its inhabitants were of the tribe 
of Sahhel. 
The inhabitants told me that Laraish or Larash was 
to the west, and close to the place where we were. If 
this be true, its latitude is marked too high in the maps 
of Chenier and Arrowsmith. 
Friday, 28th October, we began our journey at a 
quarter after seven in the morning, in the direction of 
S. W. through a forest of oak, for at least a quarter of a 
league; it is called the wood of Daraizana. At nine 
o'clock we passed the river Wademhazen, and continu- 
ing our road S. S. E. we discovered a chapel and some 
village houses, which they told me were close to Larash; 
they seemed to be about twelve English miles from us 
to the N. W. Inclining afterwards to the S. S. W. we 
arrived at noon at Alcassar Kibir. 
The country is composed of fine meadows ending in 
hills towards the west, and in the chain of mountains 
about seven miles off. One branch of these mountains 
Fahrenheit 60°.
