Karakoi, however, as far east as Cape Emeji, the
land is comparatively low, rising gradually from
the shore on both sides to a range of low hills in the
centre.

" Cape Shuyun itself is a bluff headland, and
Cape Emeji is formed by a remarkably fine moun-
tain, rising abruptly from the sea on the north and
south, and from the low land to the east between
it and Cape Shuyun. From Cape Emeji eastward
to the Dorian Isthmus the mountains, though
not so high, are similar in character to those
between the Bay of Karakoi and Cape Krio. On
the low hills between the Bay of Karakoi and the
Gulf of Symi are several villages, of which the
principal are Ellakoi, Datscha, Baturkoi, and Kara-
koi. The first three are on the southern side of the
hills, and Karakoi is on the northern. The valleys
on both sides, between the hills and the shore, are
very fertile and well cultivated, producing large
crops of figs, olives, and vallonea. There is a
very good harbour for caiques on the western side
of the large bay on the south, called Datscha Scala.

" The only ancient remains I saw were those of
a wall on the sea-shore, two or three miles east of
Datscha Scala. This wall has its foundation at the
water's edge, and is still 12' or 14/ high. It is built
of large isodomous blocks without mortar. Near
this, and also on the shore of the Gulf of Karakoi,
are remains of much later date, probably Byzantine.
The position of the sea-wall corresponds with that
of Acanthus, as laid down in Kiepert's map."
