are well provided, the shops are numerous, and the place 
has fine gardens and orchards. The water is excel- 
lent, and the air very wholesome; the victuals are 
good, cheap, and in abundance; the inhabitants seemed 
to be very sensible men. All these considerations made 
me prefer Teza to all other towns of the empire, and 
even to the capitals of Fez and Morocco. 
Near my tents a troop commanded by a pasha was 
encamped. He was very civil, and sent me some vic- 
tuals. One of the emperor's brothers, Muley Moussa^ 
was with him, but my indisposition prevented me from

Some new observations and much better ones than 
the first, afforded me the means of fixing the latitude of

were now in the province of Hiaina. 
We set off again at one in the afternoon, direction 
W. and S. W. till five in the evening, when our tent s 
were established near a douar. This was the birth place 
of one of the officers who had been given me by the suj- 
tan to command my escort.
