„ Mawo, written here but soon afterwards and 
p. 16. jU (even jjL by mistake). He arrived here 
a little before zawal. The situation of Beri being 
ascertained by ourselves, and that of Mawo being 
laid down with approximative certainty, the whole 
route, supposing that it runs in a tolerably straight 
line, could be described with some approach to 
exactness in a map. Of course the uncertainty in- 
creases as we pass beyond this place into the south- 
eastern quarter of Kanem. Mawo was then a place 
celebrated throughout the whole of Kanem ; but it 
was not the residence of any powerful chief. f Abd 
el Jelil the Bulala prince at that time resided in 
Yitukurma (or Yutukurma, for both forms appear f 
JU^jL and ^jLifj) distant from Mawo "megil" 
(that is to say, from five to six hours' march, 
at a very swift rate), in a S.E. direction, as it 
seems. 
From Mawo Edris directed his course to Wasami in 
a northerly direction (p. 18.) distant about zawal, while 
the host of the Bulala came to Kirsila al^£b, which pro- 
* This river is a very important feature in the country, and 
would be easily identified if a traveller were to visit those southern 
regions of Kanem. 
\ These two different forms occur in many Kanuri and Tebu 
names : — Bulma and Bilma, burni (as Imam A'hmed always writes) 
and birni, and so on.
