MAWO' AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. 483 
of Keghamma Gurde, who succeeded to Keghamma Sintal ; 
on the west side of Karfu, at a short distance from it, Yegi ; 
and not far from it the valley Badanga, stated to be very rich 
in date-trees, and Kedala, belonging to the chief Chefande*; 
then the valleys Hamaji (belonging to Fugo ?), Galtara, and 
Mapal. 
The valley of Mapal is said to form the limit of the date - 
tree in that direction. On the west side of Mawo is likewise 
an inhabited place called Kajidi, but without date-trees. 
The upper part of the valley Gesgi, which is said to 
stretch from south to north, is called Teleri-Chemo, and is 
the dwelling-place of the Shin, to whom belong the Fugabu 
(or, as the name is often pronounced, Fogubof) Shin, who 
are the inveterate enemies of the Woghda, the inhabitants of 
Gesgi. In this neighbourhood is also a valley called Lil- 
lowa. 
North from Mawo, at no great distance from Alali, towards 
the east, is the place Kulakula, inhabited likewise by Kanembu. 
How Berada, a place stated to be also on the north side of 
Mawo, and to be inhabited by a tribe called Kemalla, who 
are under the authority of a keghamma, is situated in rela- 
tion to these places, I am unable to say. In various valleys on 
the same side of Mawo are also stated to be the dwelling- 
places of the Medele, a nomadic tribe who possess a great 
many herds and flocks. In this neighbourhood is also the 
valley called Gumsa, inhabited by a Tebu tribe called 
Gumsuwa, and who seem to be different from the Gumsu 
mentioned further on. 
E.N.E. from Mawo are the inhabited places Kammegn 
and J ugo, inhabited by a peculiar tribe called el Mallemin by 
the Arabs. What their indigenous name is I did not learn ; 
* In this last statement there may be some error. 
f May the name Fugo, Fugabu, have any connection with the 
tribe of the Ftigu mentioned by Masudi ( Golden Meadows, chap, 
xxxiii. p. 138. MS. Transl. R. Asiatic Society)?
