by the permanent possession of cilia or organs derived from these

the _Opalinopsidae_, all parasitic). They are the most highly

CILICIA, in ancient geography, a district of Asia Minor, extending along
the south coast from the Alara Su, which separated it from Pamphylia, to
the Giaour Dagh (Mt. Amanus), which parted it from Syria. Its northern
limit was the crest of Mt. Taurus. It was naturally divided into Cilicia
Trachea, W. of the Lamas Su, and Cilicia Pedias, E. of that river.

Cilicia Trachea is a rugged mountain district formed by the spurs of
Taurus, which often terminate in rocky headlands with small sheltered
harbours,--a feature which, in classical times, made the coast a resort
of pirates, and, in the middle ages, led to its occupation by Genoese
and Venetian traders. The district is watered by the Geuk Su (Calycadnus
and its tributaries), and is covered to a large extent by forests, which
still, as of old, supply timber to Egypt and Syria. There were several
towns but no large trade centres. In the interior were Coropissus (Da
Bazar), Olba (Uzunjaburj), and, in the valley of the Calycadnus,
Claudiopolis (Mut) and Germanicopolis (Ermenek). On or near the coast
were Coracesium (Alaya), Selinus-Trajanopolis (Selinti), Anemourium
(Anamur), Kelenderis (Kilindria), Seleucia ad Calycadnum (Selefkeh),
Corycus (Korghoz) and Elaeusa-Sebaste (Ayash). Roads connected Laranda,
north of the Taurus, with Kelenderis and Seleucia.

Cilicia Pedias included the rugged spurs of Taurus and a large plain,
which consists, in great part, of a rich stoneless loam. Its eastern
half is studded with isolated rocky crags, which are crowned with the
ruins of ancient strongholds, and broken by the low hills that border
the plain of Issus. The plain is watered by the Cydnus (Tarsus Chai),
the Sarus (Sihun) and the Pyramus (Jihun), each of which brings down
much silt. The Sarus now enters the sea almost due south of Tarsus, but
there are clear indications that at one period it joined the Pyramus,
and that the united rivers ran to the sea west of Kara-tash. Such
appears to have been the case when Alexander's army crossed Cilicia. The
plain is extremely productive, though now little cultivated. Through it
ran the great highway, between the east and the west, on which stood
Tarsus on the Cydnus, Adana on the Sarus, and Mopsu
