4th. Ko-zintu, a walled place, the huts consisting of reeds; 
arrive at noon. No village on the road, but a good 
deal of cultivation. 
5th. Zintu, a large walled place with clay houses, on a 
considerable rivulet passing by Zariya, and running 
westward. It is said not to be fordable (probably 
only in the rainy season), two boats being con- 
stantly employed for carrying over travellers. It 
has no fish. I think it is the same river with the 
kogi-n-Gedia, which is crossed on the road from 
Kano to Sabongari. A short march. 
6th. Kauru, a large town surrounded with a clay wall 
and lying on a considerable and navigable rivulet 
running eastward (not westward); arrive in the after-

7th. ShafFero, the village mentioned in p. 564. 
8th. Gida-n-bakaya, an open village inhabited by pagans, 
but under the dominion of the Fulbe ; arrive at 
noon, having crossed in the morning the Kaduna 
running westward. The country very woody. 
9th. Katab ; pass in the morning the village Kala. 
Route from Kano to Yakoba. 
1st day. You arrive early in the forenoon at Sakwa, a place 
situated on a running stream called " kogi-n- Sakwa." 
In the morning you pass the village of Dawaki. 
Sakwa was visited by Clapperton. 
2nd. About two o'clock p.m. arrive at Dell, a considerable 
town said to be larger than Tasawa, after having 
passed another populous place, not much less than 
Dell, called Gerko. The whole country is well 
cultivated; and there is but little jeji, or unculti- 
vated land, on the road. In Koro, S.W. about one 
day from Dell, there are mines. 
3rd. A little after noon arrive at Parna, a place not so
