Sus, a territory of Morocco, comprising the Atlantic coast of that country between the Atlas mountains and the river Asaka or Nun, and extending E. to the country called Draa; area, about 11,500 sq. m.; pop. estimated at 750,000. It is mostly mountainous, the climate is healthful, and the soil generally good. The principal productions are the cereals and legumes, and the date, olive, argan, rig, almond, and grape. The mountains are rich in minerals, particularly copper and lead, and there are numerous mines which were anciently worked. The inhabitants, who are Shelloohs or Berbers and Arabs, are more austere and more warlike than others of the Moroccans, and use neither tobacco, liquors, nor coffee. They possess but few cattle or sheep. Taru-dant, the chief city, a walled town with five gates, is in the valley of the river Sus, 44 m. from the coast. The N. part of Sus, above the river Gaz, is ruled by the governor of Ta-rudant under the authority of Morocco. Taze-roualt, S. of the Gaz, is governed by a nominally independent sovereign, and the remainder is under independent sheiks.
