points with regard to the connection of Kano, Zariya, and 
Yakoba with the lower course of the Benuwe, are the towns 
of Keffi-n-Abdezenga and Lafiya Berebere, while the latter 
of these places is also one of the chief centres whence spreads 
the dominion of the Fulbe, with misery and devastation, over 
the neighbouring tribes. 
I will here give the route from Kano by way of Zariya 
to Keffi-n-Abdezenga, which goes from Zariya almost di- 
rectly southward. The stations are very short. 
1st day. Madobi, a place with a market. Pass in the morn- 
ing the " kogi," or kogi-n-Kano. 
2nd. Reach Bebeji about ten o'clock a.m.* 
3rd. About one o'clock p.m. arrive at Rhni-n-Kaura, a 
group of villages with a rivulet running east. 
4th. About nine o'clock a.m. reach Baki-n-Kaminda, a 
cluster of scattered villages, called by this name 
from a rivulet Kaminda or Kamanda, which skirts it. 
5th. About eleven o'clock a.m. reach a walled town called 
Da-n-S6shia, rich in date-trees. Here is the frontier 
of the province of Kano towards that of Zariya, 
marked by a large " kurremi " dry in summer. 
6th. A little after noon reach a small river called Kubu- 
tutu, running east, but afterwards turning south 
and joining the Kaduna, which drains all this part of 
the country. On the bank of the rivulet is a village 
called Ansho. 
7th. About 11 o'clock a.m., after a journey through a 
woody country, reach Ruma, a large place but thinly 
inhabited, and surrounded with walls in decay. 
8th. About the same hour you reach a walled place called 
Likoro, where a market is held every other day. 
All the country is thickly wooded and uncultivated. 
9th. Between nine and ten o'clock in the morning, after 
* Bebeji has been visited, and probably astronomically fixed, by 
Mr. Vogel.
