5th. Arabebe, a village inhabited by Fulbe. 
6th. Nyafunke, a large village, inhabited in former times 
by Imoshagh, but at present peopled by Fulbe. 
7th. I'ketawen. Having passed in the morning close be- 
hind Nyafunke, a large branch of the river, halt at 
noon in a village called Sherifikoira. 
8th. A'tara, a large village of Fulbe, on the east side of a 
considerable branch of the river going to Gasi Gumo. 
9th. Fadhl-Allahi a Fulbe village. 
10 th. Yowaru. Yowaru is one of the two chief places of 
Fermagha, and although consisting entirely of reed 
huts, is said to be little inferior in the number of its 
inhabitants to the town of Timbuktu. The im- 
portance of the place is clear enough from the annual 
amount of tribute which it pays, amounting altogether 
(zeka and modhar taken together) to 4000 head 
of cattle. During the inundation Yowaru lies at 
the border of lake Debu, which, at that season, ex- 
tends from Sa to Yowaru, but during the dry season, 
it is about one mile distant from the small branch. 
Close to the latter lies a suburb where the Surk or 
Korongoy, a degraded section of the Songhay, dwell.* 
In Yowaru and the neighbourhood live a great 
number of Fulbe or Fullan belons^ino; to the foUowinor 
tribes : — the Sonnabe, Yalalbe, Feroibe, Y6 warunkobe 
and Jawambe, or Zoghoran or Zoromawa. 
G. — From YSwaru to Tenengu, 
1st day. Urungiye, an important place. 
2nd. Mayo, a village so called from a small creek, the Mayo 
Sorroba, on which it lies. Between Urungiye and 
* I have not been able to make even a short vocabulary of the 
idiom of these people. I only succeeded in making out two terms 
which they use, "urabay" ("how are you ?") and "ena" ("wel- 
come ").
