The insect commonly known in English port-towns by the
name of cockroach or black beetle, and said to have been
brought from the West Indies, is found here, as is also the
bug, which has been considered by us to have come from
America in the timber. I see on the trees a great variety
of the cimex, and one or two kinds of dragon-fly that I do
not know in England. Yermin is certainly not so abundant
in the houses of the Turks as in most parts of southern
Europe; indeed the people are more cleanly than other
nations in similar climates. The chameleon and tortoise are
frequently seen basking on the rocks.
The people in the district of this country south of the
Taurus are in the peculiar state of having no settled resi-
dence, and their manners take their character from this
mode of life. I have not seen a village, or even a mosque
except in the city of Adalia,—the people all living in tents;
and from this circumstance they are less capable of paying
the prompt attention to the rites of hospitality which I
have met with elsewhere, although they have the same hos-
pitable disposition. Here the firman has lost its power, and
I seldom mention it. The only difficulty however that I
have had is in obtaining corn for the horses, which gene-
rally have to fare like the cattle of the district and eat
grass. I have authority to demand corn, but, living in their
tents, the peasants do not require it, and at this season they
have none for their own horses. Earley is the only corn
grown for the horses in Asia Minor; I have never seen oats
in the country.
April 12th.— When I returned to my hospitable enter-
tainer at Adalia, his family were all going to their church,
but they bade me welcome, and I felt myself at home again.
The house gave every proof of the goodness of its inhabit-
ants. In a bakehouse were five large tubs of flour, suffi-
cient to furnish bread for a barrack, in process of being
made into loaves, which were, according to the custom at
