town Gorgondara ; but I think he must be mis- 
taken. 
6th. Wari, a large open place with much cultivation of 
corn ; the whole country is flat. Arrive about noon. 
7th. Kargo, a village. The country level, and covered 
with forest. 
8th. Gwari-n-Kargo, a village, the frontier-place of the 
territory of Zegzeg (that is to say, in 1851 ; but since 
the end of the year 1853, it appears, both from 
what Dr. Baikie and his companions learnt on their 
interesting and successful expedition up the river 
Benuwe, and from what I myself heard on my return 
to Kano from my journey to Timbuktu, that the 
Fulbe, partly by treachery, partly by warfare, have 
made great progress in this direction, extending their 
depredations to the very bank of the river). A 
small stream or torrent skirts the side of the village, 
running towards the Kaduna ; here is more cultiva- 
tion. Arrive in the forenoon. 
9th. Another open village of the Basa, with a good deal of 
cultivation; arrive about noon. 
10th. Ungwa Limang, a small village inhabited by the 
people of the prince of Toto ; rocky ground, and a 
small rivulet or brook. 
11th. About two o'clock in the afternoon arrive in Toto, a 
large town protected on the west side by a woody fad- 
dama or valley, and on the other sides surrounded with 
a clay wall. The town is said to be of about the 
same enormous dimensions as Kano (that is to say, 
about fifteen miles in circuit), but more densely in- 
habited, and divided into two distinct quarters, the 
western and the eastern, the former being inhabited by 
the natives, or the Katawa*, as they are called by the 
* Katawa is the Hausa name for the people of Tgbira, the 
country itself being called Katu or Kotu, as in Kotu-n-karfi = 
iron district, Rugga n-Kotu.
