also), situated on the north side of the Faro, 
which here makes a sweep from west to east. Arrive 
between two and three o'clock p.m., having crossed 
in the morning several small streams, and further 
on a mountain-chain, which seems to border the 
valley of the river on the north side. 
4th. Rumde Dubbel, another slave-village ; arrive about 
noon, having crossed the river Faro in the morning, 
and then traversed a dense forest, full of elephants, 
in a level country. 
5th. Tibati, a large walled town, being the only town of 
this description in A'damawa besides Ray Buba — 
Ngaundere being merely fortified with a low ram- 
part, — but inhabited for the most part by slaves, 
and not by Ftilbe. It is the residence of a 
governor. The town is situated on a small river 
skirting its north-eastern side, and then running 
N.W. towards the Faro, which it is said to join one 
day's journey west from Humde Faro. It is gene- 
rally called Kogi-n-Tibati. On the north side of 
the town there seems to be a large swamp, perhaps 
an inlet of the river. Tibati boasts, according to 
all my informants, of the richest vegetation in all 
A'damawa. About ten miles west from the town 
is a more considerable river, not fordable during 
some months, which, according to my best in- 
formants, is the mayo Beli, coming from a consi- 
derable distance S.W.
