APPENDIX. 
el bahr. Moito comprises five villages, three of 
which lie in a line on the southern foot of a rocky 
eminence, and two at the eastern foot of another. 
The road to Fittri runs between the two rocky 
ridges, which are of considerable elevation, and 
the eastern one of which extends to a great length. 
At the easternmost village of the western group, 
a market is held twice a week, every Tuesday and 
Thursday, but. is much less important than that 
of Melme. Moito is the residence of a khalifa of 
the sultan of Bagirmi.* Stop during the heat in 
the morning in hillelat (small villages) of the Kuka, 
and start at dhohor ; arrive late in Moito. 
21st. Hillet c Arab, which you reach in the morning, having 
started in the evening and slept on the " nega." 
22nd. Garra, in the morning, having started in the evening, 
and slept at a place belonging to some Arabs. 
23rd. Jilas, having started in the morning, and passed the 
heat at a place of the Kuka. 
24th. A'bu-Gher, a place of some importance on account of 
its Saturday market, and comprising two villages 
separated from each other by the market-place. The 
place is of Pullo or Fellata origin ; and the southern 
village is entirely inhabited by Fulbe, whilst the 
northern one is occupied by small tradespeople. The 
name, as far as I know, has nothing to do with the 
abu. kern or rhinoceros. 
25th. Sobiyo, a village of the mallem Saleh Tynjurawi, a 
very learned faki. Arrive early in the morning, 
having started in the evening and slept on the 
road. 
26th. Mas-ena, the capital of Bagirmi, after a short march. 
From A'bu Gher, direction S.S.E. 
* This place has been repeatedly mistaken for the capital of 
JRngirmi, even by M. Fresnel.
