Reading edition
At Cape St. Anne, in the bay of Arguin, where the beds of salt are found, is a small island which appears to answer El Bekrí’s description. Labat (L’Afrique Occidentale, tom. I. p. 58) says of it, “On trouve à la pointe de la Saline une petite isle qui ne se distingue presque pas du continent.” De Barros (Decad. I. liv. I. c. 10) explains why Arguin is the only inhabited spot on the shores of the Desert.
