tribe of the FugaM. Arrive before the heat of the 
day. 
3rd. Ghala, a considerable village of huts inhabited by the 
Kubberi, or Kobber, who speak the Kanuri language. 
4th. Jekere, a place at present inconsiderable, but once of 
large size, inhabited by the Kanku, (identical with 
the Kunkuna ?) a tribe or section of the Kanembu. 
5th. Arrive, before the heat is great, at the well Lefadu, 
without inhabitants, make a short halt, and reach 
Mailo, a place with a lake full of fish, and inha- 
bited by a peculiar tribe called Haddada or Bungu, 
who are said to speak the Kanuri language, but 
go almost naked, being only clothed with a leather 
wrapper round their loins, and are armed with bows 
and arrows and the goliyo. They are very expert 
bowmen, and, when attacked, withdraw into the dense 
forests of their district (to which seems to apply the 
general name of Bari), and know well how to defend 
their independence in politics as well as in religion 
— for they are pagans. To them belong the famous 
clan called, at least by the Welad Sliman, Dwarda 
Hajra. A celebrated town of the Haddada is Di- 
mari, the residence of Mala Dima. In Ban there 
is a market held every Thursday, as it seems, in 
that part of it which is nearest to Maw 6. In 1853 
the Welad Sliman made a strict alliance with the 
Haddada, and in consequence defeated, in their 
woody district, the officer of Waday, called Agid el 
Bahr. 
For the general outlines of this little-known region, 
the following itinerary from Kusuri to Mawo, ac- 
cording to the Kanemma chief A / msakay, is of great 
importance : — 
1st day. Sleep in the wilderness. 
2nd. Sleep near Kau Abuddala, a rocky eminence near 
the lake (see Denham, vol. i. p. 261.). Two
