II A J Hamdun

have made a pilgrimage.

A. D. 
1723 — 1736. 
Mohammed, 
With the surname 
Eriihamma. Son of 
El Haj Hamdun. 
Of his reign likewise we know nothing but of 
a famine which lasted two years. These 
princes, indeed, seem in general to have 
seldom left their favourite residence, where 
they indulged in luxury and ostentation, 
while the kingdom was falling to pieces 
and became unable to resist any shock 
which might come from without. 
Ghasreggomo.

A. H. 
1149—1164. 
A. D. 
Dunama, 
With the surname 
Ghana, "the little.' 
The young son of 
Mohammed. 
The chronicle mentions, under his short 
reign, a very severe famine. 
Ghasreggomo.

'All 
Ben el Haj Dunama. 
Is greatly praised by the chronicle as a most 
excellent prince ; but it is evident that he 
was such only from a monkish point of 
view. He seems, however, to have ex- 
celled in a peculiar kind of energy, being 
mentioned by Lucas as the father of three 
hundred male children.* I cannot say with 
nV\calnfo r»av+fiintu tunptiiPT 8 it" w n q hp w n 
made a most unfortunate expedition against 
Mandara, to the ill success of which most 
of the intelligent Bornu people attribute the 
weakness of the empire under the following 
reign, when it was attacked by the fanatic 
troops of the Fellata, the best part of the 
army having been slain by the inhabitants 
of Mandara. 'All seems also to have made 
several expeditions against the Bedde.

A'hmed 
Ben 'AH. 
" A learned prince, liberal towards the ulama; 
a prodigal dispenser of alms, a friend of 
science and religion, gracious and com- 
passionate towards the poor." So says the 
chronicle. However well deserved this 
praise may be, certainly A'hmed was not 
Ghasreggomo.
