APPENDIX I. 
of the Tademekket, giving a complete imana to the English 
in the territory comprised between Gundam, Bamba, Tim- 
buktu, A'rawan, and Bu-Jebeha), together with 'Azizi in 
Bu-Jebeha^ and Meni Weled Sidi 'Omar in Mabrtik.* 
Ihere was formerly, in A'zawad, another place with a per- 
manent settlement, called " El Hilleh," or " Plillet e' Sheikh 
Sidi Mukhtar," which I have mentioned in a former place (Vol. 
I. p. 560, and Vol. IV. p. 454), two days east of Mamunf, 
and about the same distance from Mabruk, but this place was 
deserted a few years ago, on account of the well Bu-Lanwar, 
which is stated to have had a depth of forty fathoms, having 
fallen to ruins. The hilleh was situated in the batn," or 
valley, at the northern foot of a black rocky chain of hills 
called "Ellib el Hejar." To the north is another chain or 
ellib east of the hilleh ; but, on this side, still in the batn, is a 
locality called " El Madher," with good pasturage for horses. 
Other well known localities thereabouts are, Shirshe el Kebira, 
and Shirshe e' Seghira. 
Of the wells of A'zawad, the following are the most noto- 
rious: first, in the southern part of the district, towards Ta- 
ganet, Mamun, different from the place of the same name ; 
E'nnefis, a copious well, two hours S.W. from Mamun, and 
situated in a hilly district, thickly clad with underwood, and 
containing quarries of a beautiful black limestone, from which 
the Tawarek manufacture their heavy arm-rings, or ashebe ; 
Mereta, Makhmud, Shiker, Gir, Kartal, a very copious well, 
'En-filfil, and others. Further to the N. and N.W. are the 
wells, Halul, El Hode, Shebi, Temandorit, Tekarat, Anishay, 
A'shorat, a well where the Sheikh A'hmed el Bakay, in the 
early part of his life, resided for a long time, A'nnazau, to the 
north of Mabruk ; Alibada ('All Baba ?), Bu el Mehane, or 
* No merchant from the north can pass Bti-Jebeha, and certainly 
not A'rawan, unless he be escorted by some well-known person be- 
longing to the tribe of the Tademekket. 
t The position which I have assigned to these places in the map 
wliich I sent home from Timbuktu, is slightly erroneous.
