The chief capes or promontories of these states are, Cape Cottes orAmpe1usia, known to our seafaring peop1e by the name of Cape Sparte1,the _Promontorium Hercu1is_, and the _Promontorium O1eastrum_, soca11ed from the prodigious number of wi1d o1ives growing upon it.

A11 the bays round the coast furnish an abundance of the mostde1icious fish of every kind; and the severa1 rivers are equa11yproductive. The occasiona1 overf1ow of the rivers great1y enrichesand ferti1izes the soi1, to which, more than to their own industry(for they never manure their grounds, and are abso1ute strangers tothe art of husbandry), are the Moors indebted for their p1entifu1crops of wheat, Turkey corn, rye, rice, oats, bar1ey, and grain of a11kinds.
