the mountain, afford, along the side of the Durdun Tagh
Jaihin. 8 and near tlle bed of the Jaihan, some of the wildest and
grandest views in nature. 1 Generally speaking, the northern
sides of the Taurus are less wooded than those on the south,
and the bare masses of limestone rise more abruptly from the
plain; the southern sides, on the contrary, descend gradually
till they terminate, particularly at the plain of Adanah, in a
number of prettily wooded spurs, which inclose cultivated
valleys.
The chain of Taurus proper afterwards decreases in heio-ht
and runs in a S.W. direction between the districts K6niyeh
and 1 ch-ili, as far as the pass of Laranda, beyond which it
is divided into two great branches. One of these, preserv
ing the name of Taurus, continues in a westerly direction,
or nearly parallel to the coast, sending out, besides those
numerous offsets which caused the name of Trachea to be

called the Ala Tagh, quits the former on the opposite side'
and curves northward along the great plain of Koniyeh to
Ali-onenr lagh, from whence it continues, under the dif-
ferent names of the Sultan Tagh, the Emir Tagh, the Murad
Tagh, and Touchanli Jagh, till it finally joins the Olympus
cham north of Kutahiyah ; previously sending to the S W
several branches through the remainder of Phrygia, and from
thence into Lydia and Mysia; these, like the principal chain
are chiefly of limestone, and all are equally wooded and
