tionecl above, situated a few miles east from Lombo Tendi, 
and to the north of another ksar called Gurtinge. There is 
also a Pullo emir in Baghena, of the name A'bu El Haji 
Ibrahima, who seems to enjoy considerable authority. 
As for the Aswanek of Baghena, who, as will have been 
gleaned already from the itineraries, are masters of many ksur,
