three days, and then halt at the river Maiss, which has given its name to this place.

43rd—47th Journies.--Proceeding during four days journey from Maiss, they reach the town called Janet, which is built at the foot of a mountain bearing that name.

48th-52nd Journies. From the town of Janet they go in five days to refresh themselves at the wells of Tegherein.

52nd-54th Journies.-From Tegherein to Tedment three days. Tedment is at the foot of a mountain called Tadent,' where quantities of senna are collected.

55th-62nd Journies.-From Tedment after eight days' travelling, during which, neither water nor vegetation is found, they reach and repose at a place called Asioû, where there are many wells.

63rd-68th Journies.-After quitting the wells of Asioû, they proceed five days among mountains, beyond which is a place called Togháget.

69th—73rd Journies.-From Toghaget they journey five more days to reach Tedek: the road is invariably among mountains, where no water is to be had.

74th—75th Journies.-After proceeding two days more from Tedek, they arrive at Ahir. Ahir is a country whose capital is Asúdi. The habitations are constructed with mats, made of a reed or grass called in the empire of Marocco Bordi. It is a kind of papyrus or soft reed, which the Arabs of Syria and of Marocco use to manufacture mats, which they spread on the floors of their houses and tents, and with which they cover their roofs.

The inhabitants of Ahir live on Cassaves,” which they bring from Cashenah. The territory of Ahir is shaded by forests of those palm-trees which the Egyptians and Marokeens call doumah, the people of Gadames palms of Pharoah, and the Spaniards Palmita. They grind the fruit of this kind of palm, and mix the flour with that of the Cassave, and with cheese, and this mixture is their ordinary food.

Goats abound in Abir, as also lions and monkies, which inbabit the woods; the population may amount to 12,000 souls, who are Tuâreks.

76th-78th Journies.-After leaving Ahir and travelling three days further, they stop at a river called Aouderas, which they cross, it being knee-deep.

79th-80th Journies.-From Aouderas they travel on two days, and then stop at a mountain called Megzem.

a

818-82nd Journies.-From Mount Megzem they proceed two days, and arrive at a river which runs through a wood of datetrees; the name of this river is Irin-Ouallem.

83rd—84th Journies.--From Irin-Ouallem they march on two days sucoessively, and then reach Aguadès or Agádes. Agades is a town, larger than that of Tripoli of Barbary, situated in a plain. A market is held there; the Tuareks carry on a trade with it in cattle and sheep. The inhabitants of Agādes procure their clothing from Cashenah, Gouber, and Zenferanab. They give in exchange, salt, which they procure from Bornou, from the territory of Fachy and of Bilma; the prince who reigns at Agades is called Baguir; he has succeeded Wadelah. The extensive commerce carried on by this town renders it rich and forishing.

85th-90th Journies.--Departing from Agades, they are seven days crossing immense forests, where no water is found but what the rains bave left. They then arrive at Tedlag, a very deep well, from which they raise water by means of camels, which are brought thither expressly for the caravans.

918-97th Journies. After having refreshed themselves at the wells of Tedlaq, they perform eight more days' journey, when they reach a place called Kerfechi.

98th Journey. After another day's march they reach a place called Tsãouah or Tsawah.

99th Journey.-From Tsawah to Madaouah or Madawah one day.

100th Journey.From Madawah they travel a whole day, and repose at Takmakoumah.

101st day's Journey.-- From Takmakoumah, after another day's journey, they at length arrive at Cashenah or Kasnah.

CASHENAH.

Casherah is a considerable town: it has seven gates or entrances ; an interval of two miles separates each gate. The king who governed Cashevah is just dead;' his name was Kalinghiwah.

The Sheikh El Hage Kassem Guarem, who communicated to me the above intelligence, and who dictated to me the Itinerary from Tripoli ip Barbary to Timbuctou, transacted with the king Kalingbiwah a commerce in cloth and horses. He reported to me that the current money of Cashenah is a kind of shell which the

! That is to say, at the close of A. D. 1806, or the beginning of 1807. Arabs call oudoa. He assured me that many of the inhabitants were of the Christian religion, and that the greater part of them carried, suspended from their neck, large wooden crosses. The natives are called Heznah. They powder their hair.

The territory of Cashenah swarms with worms, with which one is quickly covered if one lies on the ground naked. To avoid this inconvenience it is the custom to spread a mat on the ground; with this precaution one sleeps tolerably well, without danger of being tormented by these importunate and even dangerous reptiles.

After having dictated this Itinerary, the Sheikh El Hage Kassem finished by assuring me, that to travel to Cashenah from Tripoli of Barbary, one has the sun in the morning on the left temple, and in the evening on the right temple, that is to say, that the journey is performed by proceeding invariably southward.

N. B, This Itinerary and that from Tripoli to Timbuctou? were given to me in 1807, during the summer of that year, that is to say, during the three months that the caravan sojourns at Tripoli of Barbary.

The words of Nunnesius, which are cited by the editors of the Thes. :-“ Non Chariclide, ut in libro vulgato Parisiis Thomæ editum est : loci autem, qui ab eo (nempe Thoma) citantur Demosth. et Antiph. :" will not admit any other interpretation than that, which the editors have given, viz. that Nunn, had read those passages in his Ms. copy of Thomas Magister. Because that author as now edited does not contain those passages, it does not necessarily follow that the Ms. of Nunn. was not possessed of them; neither does it necessarily follow that Nunn. intended to cite Steph. Thes., because they are found there. For, if, in opposition to the express words of Nunn., Lobeck has a right to assume that Steph. Thes. was the book intended to be quoted, the editors bave an equal right to assume that Steph. himself took them from a Ms. copy of Thomas. Lobeck has neglected to notice that the passage, which Steph, assigns to Antipho, in truth belongs to Lycurgus c. Leocr. 149., as the editors bave remarked in the Thes.
