APPENDIX VL 
N. B. — If this were a tolerablv direct road it would have 
a great influence upon the position of the various places men- 
tioned ; but it would seem that my informant turned away 
from his direct track in order to visit the market-place Kulfela. 
Other people, in going slow T ly from Kulfela to Woghodogho, 
spend eight clays on the road, sleeping the first night in 
Pashipanga, the second in Tangay, the third in Zorogo, the 
next in a place ruled by a man called Mane Bogonje, the fifth 
in another village called Tangay, and reach Woghodogho on 
the eighth. I shall here join Tankurgu with Sansanne 
Mangho by an itinerary, which, however, does not lay claim 
to completeness. 
1st day. Benda, belonging to the territory of Busanga. 
2nd. Samga, a large town. 
3rd. Kan tan ti, residence of a chief of its own. 
4th. Yanga. 
5th. Sansanne Mangho. 
D. — From Ydglia to Belanga (long marches). 
1st day. Kabo, a village of Yagha. 
2nd. Selungu, a Gurma village belonging to the territory 
of Belanga. 
3rd. Jafange, a large Gurma place (long march). 
4th. On the bank of the river Shirba in the wilderness. 
5th. Belang or Belanga, residence of one of the Gurma 
chiefs, styled ^elem-bettu (bettu means chief, king, 
in the Gurma language), who at present is one of 
the most powerful rulers of that country ; his ter- 
ritory extending about four days' good march in every 
direction, — the more important places being Yamba, 
Sirbale, Jepangale, Baserilu, Balga, Tubga, Dengo, 
Tampodo, Mokka, Yoponga, Japango, Bela. 
From Belanga to Nungu or Be-naba there are four very
