TOWNS OF KEBBI: 'ALI'YU'S DOMINION. 535 
and is equal to it in the quantity of water, although the 
whole valley (or faddama) is said not to be of the same 
width. Commencing from Bamaga you pass on the S. side 
of the river the town of Zoma, which has given its name 
to the river, and is situated half-way between A'nka and 
Gummi, and three good days S. from Sokoto — starting 
from Sokoto you reach Danchadi, at the same distance as 
Wurno ; thence to Magaji, a long night's march the same 
distance as from Zekka to Bunka ; from here Zoma, the same 
distance as Raba from Wurno ; then you pass Dan Gartinfa, 
Jaka, Birni-n-Fellele, B. Kaiwa (on the S. side of the river), 
B. Tuddu. (still in the territory of Zoma), B. Kagali ; B. Gummi 
(S. W. from the river, with a small territory of its own), Ge- 
lenge, B. Gussura (in the territory of Gummi), B. Adabka, B. 
Gairi, Girkau (the first town of Kebbi), Zabga, Danganam, 
Birni-n-Kebbe (different from Kebbi). Along the N. side 
of the river, — again beginning with B. Zoma: Takare, Sa- 
bonbirni, B. Magaji, B. Gazurra (where r Atiku the prede- 
cessor of f Aliyu made a foray), Bukkuru, B. Solli, B. Fanda, 
B. Kunda (belonging to the territory of Gummi) B. Falam- 
gungu (N. of Gairi) ; from hence Gindi W. at a short 
distance. It is impossible to lay down the river from these 
data with accuracy. Probably not all the towns have 
been given in their natural order. According to other 
information, between A 7 nka and Takare, which lie on the N. 
bank, there are Birni-n-Tuddu. karami and Bunkado, and 
between Takare and Gazurra, Dan garunfa and B. Mazu. 
At Birni-n-Zondu, 25 m. from Gindi the mayo-ranneo, 
or dhanneo (a very general name, also to be recognised in 
Clapperton's Maiyarro), or fari-n-ruwa, joins the gulbi-n- 
Sokoto, and is said to be larger than the G. Zoma.
