and to the mouth of the river, with a dif-
ference of latitude of thirty minutes ; a
position manifestly incompatible with the
general direction of the coast. The ri-
ver may indeed have changed its course;
it might once have found an exit near
Aghaliman; but in that case, there could

Lissan ; for this point is undoubtedly of
alluvial formation; and without suppo-

deposite of the river, whether much or

ward of its mouth, wherever that mouth
may have been.

At the eastern junction of this plain
with the primitive line of coast, we found
