meaning of the name is “ a thing cut-out with a pair of

that this road -was made by Alexander’s army ; but more 
generally it is aferibed to the Romans. However this be, 
it is remarkable only for the obftacles overcome in its 
formation ; for it is extremely narrow, unequal, and even 
dangerous. It is fix miles north of Acre.

NUAY'IIAS, f. the Aouf.-tree; a name given by the 
Indians to a fort of bamboo-cane, the leaves of which, 
falling into the water, are faid to impregnate it with fach 
virtue, that the bathing in it afterwards cures the ague. 
They ufe a decodlion of the leaves to dilfolve coagulated 
blood, giving it internally, and at the fame time rubbing 
the bruifed part externally with it. 
There appears to be fortiething of fiction in the account 
of many other particulars relating to this tree in the 
Hortus Malabarieus; but it feems certain, that the length 
of the llalks, or trunk, mult be very great: for, in the 
gallery of Leyden, there is preferved a cane of it 28 feet 
long; and another not much ftiorter in the Afhmolean 
Muleum at Oxford, and which is more than eight inches 
in diameter; yet both thefe appear to be only parts of the 
whole trunk, they being nearly as large at one end as at 
the other. Chambers. 
NUBA, a race of black pagans, in the neighbourhood 
of Sennaar, of whom we know nothing but what we have 
learned from Mr. Bruce. That celebrated traveller palfed 
a day or two among them, in his way from Abyffinia; 
and he tells us that they are all foldiers of the Melt or 
king ofSennaar, cantoned in villages, which to the diftance 
of four or five miles furround the capital. They are not 
the aborigines of that part of Africa; but “ are either 
pure ha f?d or taken by force from Fazuclo, and the pro¬ 
vinces to the fouth upon the mountains Dyreand Tegla.” 
Though the Haves of a cruel and treacherous matter, Mr. 
Bruce reprefents them as a gentle, honeft, and hofpitable, 
people ; and he fays exprefsly, that, on a journey, he had 
l'eldom parted a more comfortable night than one in 
which lie took refuge from a ftorm in a village of thofe 
Nuba. He had a good fupper, and a clean neat hut to 
deep in, whilft fome of theTMuba watched for him all 
night, and took care of his beafts and his baggage. 
“Having feitlements and provilions given them by the 
government of Sennaar, as allo'arms put into their hands, 
they never with to deleft, but live a very domelcic and
