ing in the morning the Shan, or rather, as it is called 
here, the Ba-Buso. 
2nd. Gurgara, a large place belonging to a considerable 
tribe, whence all the iron consumed in Bagirmi is 
exported. It is obtained from siderites, and is not 
near so good as the iron of Wandala or Buban- 
jidda. 
3rd. Chaken, a large place, with an independent chief; 
about noon. 
4th. Jogdo, a large place, consisting in part of clay huts, 
belonging to the extensive principality of Gabberi. 
5th. Loji, a place under the independent chieftain Kiki the 
son of Belat. 
6th. Gun, a place on the Ba-Gun, as the river of Logon 
is here called. Almost every place has its separate 
ertana (jargon). The country yields sorghum, beans, 
" kolche " or ground-nuts, and melons. 
7 th. Lay , on the same bank of the river, the residence 
of Sugulum son of Noba. The river abounds with 
fish, and is navigated by numerous boats. South of 
Lay, according to this informant, an arm, coming 
from the Fulbe territory (from Bubanjidda, it seems), 
appears to join the river. This informant considers 
the river of Logon and the river of Day, Miltu, 
Buso, and A'su to be only arms of the same river, 
which is bifurcated, as he says, above Day. It may 
be so ; but I doubt whether this account be true, the 
rate of the current in these two rivers being very 
different. The direction now becomes almost south. 
8th. Myl, having crossed the river at Lay, and then taken 
a course a little south from west. 
9th. Koyo, a place with an independent chieftain, on a dry 
clay soil. 
10th Kiyagor, at a short distance, with an independent 
chieftain. About six hours from Kiyagor, a little 
north from east lies Bari, in a mountainous region.
