eastern bank ; but before entering Laro you cross 
it again. 
10th. Dirdiyu, a village inhabited conjointly by pagan 
natives and by Mohammedan Fulbe; the country 
level. About noon. 
11th. Zangi, a place formerly belonging to the pagans 
Farang, but at present inhabited and ruled by the 
Fulbe. Numerous elephants and mouflons ; at least 
so says my informant, who nevertheless may have 
mistaken buffaloes or other animals for those pecu-

12th. Reach Yola, having traversed a well-inhabited country, 
and crossed a small tributary of the Faro. 
2. Route from Mora, the Capital of Mandara, to Yola. 
Mora was found by Mr. Vogel, by observation, to be in 
lat. 10° 58' 38" N.* and in long. 12° 22' E. Gr. 
1st day. Mogashe, a village of Mandara, of middling size,

I constructed my routes from information, having changed the 
latitude of this place from 10° 15', in which Denham had placed 
it, to 11° 1', — an error of less than three miles. In the number 
of Mr. Vogel representing the longitude, there seems to be an error. 
\ The situation of this place is controlled by its relation to my 
route to Musgu, and by the distance from Woloje as well as by 
that from Wuliya. See Vol. III.
