Transcript THE PHOENICIAN PLAIN. 61 We stroll on a little farther. What are those great heaps on the plain a little way back from the shore ? They are simply masses of sea-shell, of two or three species {Murex trunculus and Murex bran- darts). In the north they would be taken for kitchen- middens like those of Denmark, claim no pre-historic antiquity; they are simply the silent witnesses of an extinct industry of Tyre. From the fish which inhabited these shells the purple dye was obtained, only one drop from each mollusc. Well may the colour have been so costly. From the south side we can proceed to the reservoir of Ras el 'Ain, " the head of 70 AQUEDUCT, RAS EL 'AIN. Of Saracenic origin, its slightly pointed arches are in many places almost concealed by luxuriant vegetation.
