on a particular kind of clay, which they prepare 
with butter. The people of the slave-expedition 
themselves lived upon it while in this district, and 
represent it as not unpleasant. The Dingding are 
also armed with guns. The name Dingding, how- 
ever, most probably is not the indigenous name of 
this tribe. 
14th. Yiiruwa, another pagan tribe, armed with guns, and 
living in a mountainous district. 
15th. P6, another tribe, living chiefly on sugar-cane (not, 
as it seems, the Holcus saccharatus), which they 
boil, and eat like honey. Country mountainous. 
16th. I'bo, dwelling in nine villages on the "black water" 
(baki-n-mwa), as many of the Hausa people call 
the Kwara, although the I'gbo and other tribes in 
that district give the name "black water" in general 
to the Benuwe, while they distinguish the Kwara 
as the " white water." 
The I'bo, whom, as well as the Dingding, the Fulbe 
believe to be Christians, have neither cattle, horses, 
nor asses, but plenty of large sheep, goats, swine, and 
poultry. The expedition which my informant accom- 
panied in 1848-9 spent two months in this country, 
plundering it and carrying away a great many slaves. 
Since that time the Fulbe can in some respects truly 
say that their empire extends as far as the sea; for 
now every year the Tbo, at least part of them, and 
their neighbours are said to bring slaves, salt, and 
cowries as a kind of tribute to the governor of 
Chamba. The same expedition after having re- 
traced its steps as far as the gari-n-Kachella Bum, 
again returned towards the Great River, and fell 
upon and plundered Mbafu, said to be three days' 
journey north from the I'bo country.* 
* This last statement is perplexing, as there can be but little 
doubt about the situation of Mbafu a few days' journey N.E. from 
Kalaba, and its identity with Mr. Koelle's Mfut and with Ndo ;
