as a sevenfold wall for the protection of the fertile Mesopotamian lowland from the marauding tribes inhabiting the bare plateau of Iran.
North of Assyria lay a country very similar to the Zagros region. Armenia, like Kurdistan, consists, for the most part, of a number of parallel mountain ranges,^ with deep valleys between them, watered by great rivers or th...eir afEuents. Its highest peaks, like those of Zagros, ascend considerably above the snow- line.'* It has the same abundance of wood, especially in the more northern parts ; and though its valleys are scarcely so fertile, or its products so abundant and varied, it is still a country where a numerous population may find subsistence. The most striking contrast which it offers to the Zagros region is in the direction of its moinitain ranges. The Zagros ridges run from north-west to south-east, like the principal mountains of Italy, Greece, Arabia, Hindustan, and Cochin China ; those of Armenia have a course from a little north of east to a little south of west, like the Spanish Sierras, the Swiss and Tyrolese Alps, the Southern Carpathians, the Greater Balkan, the Cilician Taurus, the Cyprian Olympus, and the Thian Chan.
