APPENDIX I. 
Kodia which surrounds El Hodh. The water of 
Mesila is said to run towards the south. 
N. B. It must be borne in mind in laying down this 
route that my informant, a Pullo, wished to avoid the 
seats of the Welad Mebarek, and therefore followed 
in his generally northerly direction a very round- 
about way. 
56th. AfuUe, or rather an open Arab village in the district 
so named, the mountainous country having been en-

Kaarta, and its eastern part is inhabited by Bam-

following Arab tribes : the Fata, the Welad e' Nasr, 
the Elkwezi, or Lighwezi, the Askir, the Welad Bode, 
and by two tribes of Zuwaye or Merabetm, viz. the 
Tenwaijio and the Laghelel. Some of the divisions

others live in the plain called El Khenashish, rich in 
pasture-grounds, between which and the mountains 
there is a small town called Tugguba.

62nd. U'mmat el adham, a well. The last three days no water 
is found along the road, while in general, even in the 
tract intervening between two stations marked by 
my informant, watering-places are occasionally met 
with. 
67th. Kawal, a lively spring of water. Country mountainous. 
73rd. Tugguba, an open village inhabited by Arabs. Many 
springs in the mountains. 
76 th. Way a, another Arab village. 
78th. Meshila, called by my informant "ras el Ftita," as the 
beginning of Futa (at least in former times). 
I now give the route from Meshila to Kahaide : —
