and Loziyeh, is a commanding view over the Huleh basin. Eobinson, " Bib. Bes.," ii, 434. The Wady Loziyeh, properly Musheirefeh falls into the Jordan on the south of Jisr Benat Yakub, or the Bridge of Jacob's daughters. Besides it, this part of the Jordan only receives a few short wadys. The remainder of this secondary series falls into the Sea of Galilee. The first is Wady Zuhtuk, which runs nearly parallel with the Jordan, and joins the lake near it. The next, with a trifling inter- vention rises in Jebel Kanan, on the east of Safed, and enters the sea at Tell Hum. The Wady Jamus has its mouth at 'Ain Tabghah.

THE BASIN OF WADY 'AMUD, SAFED.

This is an important basin, containing the noted town of Safed. It comes into actual contact with the Mediterranean slope on the margin of Wady el Kurn, but it is only divided from the Kasimiyeh on the north by the Hindaj, and from the N'amein and the Mukutt'a basins on the south, by the Eubudiyeh basin. It enters the sea through the plain of Ghuweir or Gennesaret, at Tell el Henud. See p. 186.

THE BASIN OF WADY EUBUDIYEH.

Its mouth is not far south of the preceding wady. The head of the basin is spread between Jebel el Arus (alt. 3,520 feet) and Jebel Abhariyeh, where it is divided from the Wady el Kurn on the north, and on the east from the Plain of Bameh, watered by the principal branch of the Wady Halzun in the Naiman basin, which empties itself near Acre. On the east it has the Safed basin. At Ailbun, on its southern border, it approaches the Plain of Buttauf, in the north-eastern part of the Mukutt'a basin. From Ailbun to the Sea of Galilee it is bordered by the Wady el Hamam.

THE BASIN OF WADY EL HAMAM.

The Mediterranean waterparting here approaches closely to the Sea of Galilee and confines this basin within a short
