a town of Asia Minor. It is a place of considerable trade; and, as commanding the passage of the mountains to the north of Syria, was an important military station in the contest between the Egyptians and Turks in 1832. After the defeat of the Turkish army at Konich, it was taken possession of by Ibrahim Pacha, and continued to be held by the Egyptians until the treaty of July 1840 compelled them to evacuate it. It is the capital of the province Adana, of the same name. It is situate on the river Siboon, on the banks of which stands a small but strong castle, built on a rock. It has a great number of beautiful fountains brought from the river by means of water-works. Over the river there is a stately bridge of fifteen arches, which leads to the water-works. The climate is pleasant and healthy, and the winter mild and serene; but the summer is so hot as to oblige the principal inhabitants to retire to the neighbouring mountains, where they spend six months among shady trees and grottos, in a most delicious manner. The adjacent country is rich and fertile, and produces melons, cucumbers, pomegranates, pulse, and herbs of all sorts, all the year round; besides corn, wine, and fruits, in their proper season. It is 30 miles north-east of Tarsus, on the road to Aleppo. Long. 35. 12. E. Lat. 37. 10. N.
