APPENDIX. 
large as Dell, and situated at the foot of a mountain, 
by the side of a small rivulet. During the morning 
you pass a village named Gedia, between which and 
Parna there is a little wilderness. 
4th. At noon you arrive at a place called Tebki (probably 
so called from a pond), situated at the foot of the 
mountains, and the frontier-place between the pro- 
vince of Kano and that of Bauchi. The whole 
march leads through a wild mountainous country, 
covered with wood. 
5th. Arrive in the morning at Sabo-n-gan, a place situated 
in the plain, and important on account of the road 
from Zariya (the details of which I shall directly 
subjoin) joining in this place the track which leads 
from Kano. The country is well cultivated ; and the 
people during the rainy season dwell in huts, scat- 
tered through the fields, while during the dry 
season they retire to the tops of the mountains. 
Soon after leaving Tebki in the morning, you cross 
a small brook, and then pass a place called Shebshi. 
6th. A place whose name I cannot make out at present. 
7th. Zaranda, a considerable village situated in the plain, 
while towards the east rises a very lofty mountain 
mass, said to be the highest mountain in Bolobolo or 
Bauchi. The whole country is under cultivation; and 
hamlets or small villages are met in every direction. 
Close to Zaranda is a rivulet, said by my informant 
to run eastward.* Arrive in the afternoon. 
8th. Yakoba (thus the name is generally pronounced, al- 
though more correctly the accent ought to be given 
to the second syllable, thus, Yakoba, or rather Ya- 
kuba) the capital of the province of Bolobolo or 
Bauchi, founded by Yakub the father of the present 
* This is entirely confirmed by Mr. Vogel's recent exploration.
