27th. Komare in a mountainous district, where cotton is 
produced. The inhabitants wear only a belt, and 
worship a rock as their god ; but it is said that there 
exist some Mohammedans among them. 
28th. Andi, a place of the tribe of the Sojiga, who are said 
to clothe their horses as well as themselves. Andi 
from Gogomi is two days, via Jili. Andi from 
Gamkul, north about 30 miles. A mountainous 
tract. An entire day's journey. 
29th. Burda, a large place of the (Gar) Manga, with a deep 
lake abounding with fish. (Identical with the lake 
of Bisa, which is passed between Gogomi and Andi?) 
30th. Tamki, probably a place of the Sokoro, who are armed 
with spears and bows, the men wearing clothes. 
They are said to eat lizards, which they boil ; they 
have, however, likewise sorghum. Their country is 
mountainous. 
31st. Gobera, a Kerdi place in a mountainous and richly 
wooded tract. 
32nd. Bang-Bay, a large town on the south bank of a consi- 
derable river abounding with fish and flowing east- 
wards, under the chief Sara Gula. 
All this is quite correct; but this Bang-Bay is alto- 
gether different from the territory called Bay, on the river 
of Logon. According to Ramadhan, the river of Bang- 
Bay is identical with the bahr Bashid, which, as he states, 
flows from here to Tamki, Andi, Nyeldang and Gamkul, and 
falls into the Shari at Nilem. 
The inhabitants, who are in a very rude state of civilization, 
have only slings ; and no cotton is cultivated. Bang-Bay is 
four days from A'bu Telfan, and two days and a half from 
Middogo.
