APPENDIX. 
while towards the S.W. extremity of the empire, on the bor- 
ders of another shallow water, probably without any current, 
and called after the tribe which I am just about to mention, 
there are the settlements of the Welad Rashid, close to the 
eastern borders of the pagan dependencies of Bagirmi, and part 
of them settled even in the midst of those pagan tribes, princi- 
pally amongst the Buwa Kuli, with whom they are said even 
to intermarry ; they are particularly rich in horses of small 
breed, and possess considerable property. 
Finally, there is another group of Arab tribes, who pasture 
their cattle near another shallow water, which seems to me to 
have likewise very little inclination, and is generally called 
0'm e' Timan, but very often named after the tribes who are 
settled on its borders. There are towards the east, not far 
from the Bandala, the Salamat, a rather numerous tribe ; 
to the west of them the Hemad ; and, finally, the Sharafa, 
who occasionally also visit the bahr e' Tini. Besides these, 
in the western extremity of the empire there are the Duggana 
or Daghana, who were in former times dependent on Bornu. 
With regard to their colour, all these Arab tribes may be 
distributed into two groups, namely, the " Zoruk," and 
the " Homr." To the first group — the dark-coloured tribes 
— belong principally, the Missiriye, the Zoruk, and the'Abi- 
diye ; while the Mahamid, the Rashid, the Khozam, the 
Hamide, and the others mentioned above, constitute the 
far more numerous group of the Homr.
