mands a whole didri£t, and the jurifdi< 5 tion of the others 
extends only to their own village and family. They are 
alio permitted to kill thole beads they intend to eat, when 
at a didunce from the whites. The Ontfoa are next to 
the Lohavohits, and are their near relations. The Ondeves 
are tiie lowed of all, being originally (laves by father and 
mother. The inhabitants of this province have no tem¬ 
ples, and very little appearance of religion; only they 
keep np a cudom of immolating beads upon particular oc- 
calions, as in llcknefs, planting yams or rice, on alfem- 
blies, &c. They offer the firlt-born bead to the devil and 
,to God, naming the devil (ird, in this manner, Dianbi/is 
Aminhanhabare, or “ Lord Devil and God.” There are 
feveral towns on the river Franchere ; and near tiiis river 
the Portuguefe had a fort built upon a deep rock, and fe¬ 
veral buildings below, with inclofures, which furnilhed all 
forts of necelfaries for their fublidence; but they were all 
malfacred by the natives. 
This province fete ms originally to have been inhabited 
by negroes. The whites or Zaferamini fettled in it about 
250 years ago, and conquered the negroes. But they them- 
felves were conquered by the French, though under the 
government of a king whom they honoured as a god. In 
1642, Captain Rivault obtained a permiflion to edablilh a 
colony in this part of the idand ; and accordingly he took 
podellion of it in the name of the king of France, in Sep¬ 
tember, that fame year. The French landed 200 men, 
well armed, and provided with dore of ammunition and 
necelfaries for building a fort, which they immediately let 
about; but no (boner did the natives obferve their inten¬ 
tion, than they ufed their utmod art to prevent their de- 
fign from taking eftect. This created a war, in which 
the French were vibtors; and, the natives becoming in 
time much better reconciled to them, they intermarried, 
and lived up and down in feveral towns at fome didance 
from one another, not above five or fix in a place'. This 
tranquillity laded for fome years; but at lad the natives, 
growing jealous, refolved to free themlelves from a foreign 
yoke; and accordingly formed a confpiracy to cut oft' all 
the French in one day ; Which they foon after effected, not 
leaving a fingle perfon alive. In 1644, the above-men¬ 
tioned Fort Dauphin was ereteted in lat. 25. 6. S. Many 
buildings were erected behind the fort, adjoining to the 
governor’s hoitfe, with great inclofures, that produced 
every fort of fruit and kitchen herb. In 1656, this fort 
was accidentally deftroyed by fire; but was foon after re¬ 
paired, and (till continues, notwithdanding the catadrophe 
above-mentioned, and its garrifon carries on frequent wars 
with the natives.

ANOT'TA, or Arnot'ta,/ in dying, an elegant red 
colour, formed from the pellicles or pulp of the feeds of 
the bixa, a tree common in South America. It is alfo 
called Terra Orlcana } and Rouceu. —See Bixa, The red

feeds, cleared from the pods, are deeped in water for fe- 
ven or eight days, or longer, til! the liquor begins to fer¬ 
ment ; then drongly dined, damped with wooden pad¬ 
dles and beaters, to promote the reparation of the red 
drins : this procefs is repeated feveral times, till the feeds 
are left white. The liquor, palled through clofe cane- 
iieves, is pretty thick, of a deep red colour, and a very ill 
fmell; in boiling, it throws up its colouring matter to the 
furfuce in form of feum, which is afterwards boiled down 
by itfelf to a due confidence, and made up while loft into 
balls. The anotta commonly met with among us, is mo¬ 
derately hard and dry, of a brown colour on the outfide, 
and a dull red within. It is difficultly acted upon by wa¬ 
ter, and tinges the liquor only of a pale brownidi-yellow 
colour. In rectified fpirit of wine, it very readily dif- 
folves, and communicates a high orange or yelloWidi- 
red. Hence it is ufed as an ingredient in varnifhes, for 
giving more or lefs of an orange-cad to the limple yel¬ 
lows. Alkaline falts render it perfectly folubie in boiling 
water, without altering its colour. Wool or filk boiled 
in the lolution acquire a deep, but not a very durable, 
orange-dye. Its colour is not changed by alum or by acids, 
any more than by alkalis: but, when imbibed in cloth, 
it is difeharged by foap, and dedroyed by expofure to the 
air. It is laid to be an antidote to the poifonous juice of 
manioc or caffava. Labat informs us, that the Indians 
prepare an anotta greatly fuperior to that which is brought 
to us, of a bright Ihining red colour, almod equal to car¬ 
mine : that, for this purpofe, indead of deeping and fer¬ 
menting the feeds in water, they rub them with the hands, 
previoudy dipt in oil, till the pellicles come off, and are 
reduced into a clear pade; which is feraped from off the 
hands with a knife, and laid on a clean leaf in the (hade 
to dry. De Laet, in his notes on Margrave’s Natural Hifi- 
tory of Brazil, mentions alfo two kinds of anotta; one of a 
permanent crimfon colour, ufed as a fucus or paint for the 
face; and another which gives a colour inclining more to 
that of faffron. This lad, which is our anotta, he fup- 
pofes to be a mixture of tire fird fort with certain relinous 
matters, and with the juice of the root of the tree. The 
wax or pulp in which the feeds are inclofed, is a cool agree¬ 
able rich cordial, and has been long in ufe among the In¬ 
dians and Spaniards in America, who dill mix it with their 
chocolate, both to heighten the flavour and raife the co¬ 
lour. It is faid to be a fuccefsful remedy in bloody fluxes. 
The roots have much the fame properties with the wax ; 
but thefe are obferved to work more powerfully by the 
urinary palfages : they are ufed by fome people in their 
broths, and feem to anfwer all the purpofes of the pulp, 
but in a more faint degree.

ANSA'RIANS, a people of Syria, fo called in the 
country, but dyled in Delille’s maps Enfarians, and in 
thofe of Danvill, Najjar is. The territory occupied by thefe 
Anfaria is that chain of mountains which extends from 
Antakia to the rivulet called Nahr-el-Kahir, or the Great 
River. The hidory of their origin, though little known, 
is yet indruftive. The following account is from the 
Bibliotheque Orientate of Affemani, a writer who has drawn 
his materials from the bed authorities. “ In the year of 
the Greeks 1202, (A. D. 89:,) there lived at the village 
of Nafar, in the environs of Koufa, an old man, who, 
from his fallings, his prayers, and his poverty, palfed for 
a faint : feveral of the common people declaring them- 
felves his partifans, lie feletetcd from among them twelve 
difciples to propagate his doctrine. But the commandant 
of the place, alarmed at his proceedings, leized the old 
man.
