partly in the valley and partly on the top of the 
mountains. 
12th. Baya. 
iii. From Chdmba to Baya, preceded by an itinerary from 
Yola and Konclia to Chdmba. 
1st day. Maibati (Mayo Beti), a Pullo village situated on a 
small rivulet called mayo Beti, and joining the Faro. 
2nd. Lamorde, the place mentioned in the preceding itine- 
rary, situated on the river Faro. 
N.B. It seems almost as if Gurin had been accidentally 
omitted in this itinerary; at least, the place where the river 
is crossed cannot be far distant from that town. The road 
keeps awhile along the bank of the river; fine country; 
mountains only at some distance from the road. 
3rd. Chamba, a considerable place, in a fine position, bor- 
dered by the river Faro towards the east, and by the 
offshoots of Mount Alantika towards the west, from 
which however it seems to be separated by a smaller 
stream. Mount Alantika, which forms a gigantic 
mountain mass, is densely inhabited by pagans of the 
tribe of the Batta, who are governed by seven 
different chiefs, and supply themselves with iron 
from Mount Karin, lying on the east side of the 
river, half a day's journey from Lamorde; mountains 
are seen all around. Chamba is almost exclusively 
inhabited by Fulbe, and is the residence of the 
powerful governor A'mba Sambo, a very warlike 
man, but now rather old. Chamba is three days' 
journey from Koncha, in starting from which place 
you pass the first night in Laro, the second in the 
town of Yaji (the mighty ancestor of A'inba Sambo), 
and on the third reach Chamba. This road keeps 
along a river, which you have to cross twice, but
