direct line, about one hundred miles distant from it ; 
and as this line, owing to the mountainous nature of 
the country and the wild and unsubdued spirit of its 
pagan inhabitants, is not passable, he was about a 
hundred and sixty miles from it by the ordinary track. 
The Route from Jemma'a-n-Darroro to Keffi-n-Abdezenga, 
with the Branch Road to Lafiya Berebere.

built half of clay, half of shibki ; a good day's march.

in a valley with much forest, and not far north from 
tvvo places surrounded with clay walls, one of which is 
called Tonung-wambay — and by " Gulbi-n-tunka,"
