TO THE JE'tEM. 
627 
ix. From Joro Fdngel to the Country of the Jetem. 
1st day. Lumta, a Pullo settlement in a level country, the 
N. E. side of which is skirted by the mayo Nelbi ; 
arrive about noon. Road crosses several small 
water-courses; direction a little west from south. 
2nd. Mayo Beli, a place chiefly inhabited by pagans, with 
the addition of but a few F&lbe, skirted by a river 
of the same name, turning from west to north. The 
country mountainous, but the mountains not rising 
to a great elevation. Arrive between two and three 
o'clock P.M. 
3rd. Hosere Labul, a large mountain, inhabited by Tika, 
and extending a considerable distance west. This 
mountain is generally regarded in A'damawa as the 
feeder of the sources of the river Faro ; but according 
to this informant (the Haj A'dama, an intelligent 
man who speaks as an eye-witness), only a small 
rivulet, the mayo Tolore, skirts its east foot, and 
joins the mayo Beli. Arrive about noon. Hosere 
Labul is one day's journey S.W. from Tibati. 
4tb. Yawa, a village of the pagan Tikar (Tika), in a plain 
woody country with a small river, which skirts the 
east side of the village (perhaps the upper course of 
mayo Beli). Arrive between two and three o'clock 
p.m. From Hosere Labul you take a more westerly 
direction. 
5th. Bomfonga, a village of another division of the Tikar 
(Tika), in a plain with small rivulets. Farfar, the 
great capital of the Tikar, is distant from this a long 
for if the direction were correctly given, we ought to look for 
these J/bo rather about Duke's Town. Nevertheless I have no 
doubt that the Fgbo are meant, although no account of an expedi- 
tion being made by the Fulbe into that country has become known 
on the coast.
