fa'tawel, the ivory-market. 599 
4tb. Mindif, a considerable Pullo place at the east and 
N.E. foot of Mount Mindif, or Mendefi. There is 
another road from Gazaba to Mindif, turning round 
the south side of the mountain, and passing first by 
Kade, the residence of Ardo Bele, then by Salag. 
5th. Maudi, a large place, residence of the Lawan Said, 
who is said to have a good many horsemen under his 
command ; the country intersected by several small 
watercourses. Direction a little north of east. 
6th. Fatawel, an important place, residence of the chief 
Mallem Hamma Yegudu, and the principal ivory- 
market in this part of Africa. Indeed it is so cele- 
brated that people in Bornu generally suppose its 
name to be that of a large region. About ten miles 
east of Fatawel is Daram or rather Daram-sulu, a 
large place inhabited by many Kanuri, as well as by 
Fulbe, and the residence of the chief Ardo Kalibi, 
and south from it another place called Gajia. I here 
subjoin the road from Baga, on my Musgu route, to 
Fatawel. 
1st day. Kade, not the village before mentioned, nor 
the place where the Musgu chief A'dishen at 
present resides, but originally a part of the same 
district, which at present forms a Pullo settle' 
ment and residence of the chief Ardo Julde 
(" chief of the Moslemm "). 
2nd. Kay a, a Pullo settlement, residence of Ardo Fsa 
(or 'Aisa, that is, Jesus), a short march. East 
from Kaya, at no great distance, are the Pullo 
settlements Bagane and Gumbule, and south of 
the former the sister towns Kafta-Baudi, Kafta 
lying on the north, and Baudi on the south side 
of a shallow watercourse, " faddaina," or ngaljam, 
and being ruled by one chief, Ardo Bcllo. 
3rd. Fatawel, early in the morning.
