the seraskier (or commander-in-chief) of 
the Turkish empire, and possessing very 
great power. 
Yerima, or Hirima (both forms occur indis- 
criminately in Imam A'hined's history), the 
governor of Yeri, or " tsidi Yeribe," the 
district between Birni Ghasreggonio and 
Muniyo *, the inhabitants of which are called 
by Imam A'hmed "ahel e' shemal." 
Ghaladima, the governor of the Ghaladi, a 
province comprising the western countries, 
from Ngaru as far as the Kwara (called, 
by the Kanuri, Kwalla). 
Chirdma (generally written by Imam A'hmed 
Thiroma, or Shiroma), the heir apparent, 
son or brother of the king. 
Fuguma, the governor in the interior of Ghasr- 
eggomo, with power over life and death. 
Bdgharima, sometimes mentioned as an officer 
of great importance, who, in the time of 
the civil wars, often raised his ambition 
even to the throne ; but I have not been 
able to make out what the department, or 
province, called baghari, really was. It 
has nothing whatever to do with Bagirmi. 
Sintelma. This title seems to belong origi- 
nally to some department connected with 
the government of Kanem, but what were 
the duties of its office I cannot say. The 
title is still common in Bornu, and will fre- 
quently occur in my narrative, though at 
present it is of little importance. 
Kdsalma, or Kdjelma, governor . of the east- 
ern provinces of Kanem. 
Kaghustemma, governor of Kaghusti, one of 
the western districts of Kanem. (See Vol. 
III. App. II.) 
Arjinoma. His province is not exactly known 
to me, except that it appears from Imam 
A'hmed, that he belonged to the governors 
of the northern provinces of the empire, 
" el omra e' shemaliyin." 
Mestremci) or Metrema, chief eunuch of the 
harfm. 
Yiroma (not to be confounded with the Ye- 
rfma), under the mestrema, but neverthe- 
less, at least in the time of Edris Alawoma, 
an office of importance. 
The other governors of large towns, such as 
* After this country, also, the wool-bearing sheep of B6rnu are called " dimf yeriram."
