APPENDIX. 
iii. From Ribago to Sarawu. 
1st day. Lapare-, or Lafare-Fulfulde, in order to distinguish 
it from the pagan village of the same name, Lafare 
Heferbe (plural of <e kefero," " the infidel ") ; arrive 
before noon. N.N.W. 
2nd. Wogolo, Fulbe ; forenoon. 
3rd. Layade, Fulbe; arrive about noon, having passed on 
the road a place called Bay. 
4th. Saurogumji, Fulbe ; arrive about noon, having some 
time before left on the right the place Meso. 
5th. Sarawu ; arrive about four o'clock p. m. Soon after 
starting in the morning, the road is joined by the 
path coming from Meso ; and then you pass the vil- 
lages Dyllemi and Doernum. 
From Ribago to Baila is one day's journey from early 
morning till about three o'clock p. M. ; direction north. 
Pass in the morning a village called 'Omaruwa, or more cor- 
rectly Manjaula'Omaruwa (" the village of 'Omar"), and about 
noon Busa, both of them situated on the north side of the 
mayo Kebbi. In time of peace between the Mohammedan in- 
truders and the pagan natives, the cattle of Baila are driven 
into the rich pasture-grounds of this valley. This valley, as 
forming almost a natural communication between the Benuwe 
and the Shari, and in this way between the Gulf of Benin 
and the Tsad, is of the highest importance, and will re- 
ceive more illustration further on. 
iv. From Gewe to Lere. Rate very expeditious. 
1st day. O'blo, a Pullo settlement in a mountainous country. 
A long day's journey, direction N.E. O'blo is about 
ten miles north, or a little west from north, from 
Ribago, passing by Lafare.
