APPENDIX I. 
EE. — Stations between Waddn and El Khat^ by a 
circuitous route. 
1 short day. Tantishirt, a hasi, with date trees. " Tanti " 
means vale. 
1 day. A'herur. 
4 days. AVakan. This part of the road passes through a 
desert tract without wells, called Tayarat Idaw 
el Haj. 
1 day. Sharaniye. 
1 day. Hasi el harka. 
1 day. Itilen, a mound. 
1 day. El Khat, having passed the heat in Bu-Sefiye. El 
Khat, is a rich valley which I shall say more about 
in the general account of El Hodh, and a very im- 
portant locality where most of the routes traversing 
this region join. A'wakan, which will be men- 
tioned in a following itinerary, is thus tolerably well 
determined. 
FF. — From Waddn to Rashid, by way of El Khat* 
1 day. Roj, a well. 
1 day. Shingit, an ancient town which has become very 
famous in the whole of the east on account of its 
having given its name to all the Arabs of the west. 
The reason of this is said to be, that a distinguished 
man, a native of this place of the name of ' Abd e' 
Rahman, visited the court of Harun e' Rashid. - 1 
shall say more about this place further on. 
1 day. Encamp beyond the A'kela without a well. 
1 day. Haweshi. 
* N.B. This itinerary was not made use of for the map of 
the western part of the desert, which I sent home from Tim- 
buktu.
