APPENDIX III. 
Henna. Then there are the Kel e' Suk wa-n-e' Suk, whose 
name is connected with the town of Suk in a twofold manner, 
as having resided in that place longer than any other section, 
having probably their nomadic encampments on the site of 
the town after its destruction. Then the Kel-bogu with In- 
tellumt, formerly Id Mesud ; the E'l Salahii, the Eheawen 
NakiUn, with many subdivisions ; the Kel-gtinhan ; the Kel- 
genshishi ; the A'hel Igiwish ; the Isharamaten, to whom 
belongs Najib ; the Id el Hanefi or Kel-esakan embeggan ; 
the Ewumhaden, with rich herds of cattle ; the K61-jeret ; 
Kel-adhar ; Kel-tinharen ; Kel-tondibi ; Kel-tejerit ; the 
Kel-emajaus ; Kel-gabo ; Kel-emassen. 
The Kel e' Siik have for themselves two tribes of Imghad, 
the DeletayCj and the Ibokhannen. 
I now proceed to the large group of the TademekJtet, who, 
as I have stated, were settled formerly in AMerar, round the 
town called after them Tademekka, but were driven from 
thence by the Awelimmiden about the middle of the seven- 
teenth century, and have since been settled on both sides of 
the Niger from Bamba upwards, regarding as the limits of 
their territory — Bamba in the east, Gundam in the west, Bu- 
Jebeha in the north, and Bone in the south. As I have 
stated on a former occasion, every merchant arriving in Bu- 
Jebeha from the north, on his journey to Timbtiktu, even at 
the present day, is obliged to take a respectable man of this 
tribe with him for his protection. The Tademekket made 
another attempt to render themselves independent of the 
Awelimmiden, under their chief Rumeli, about the middle of 
the last century, I think, and were for a time successful, 
but were then hunted down by their rivals, and were obliged 
for a certain period to take refuge in Bambara. 
The Tademekket are divided since about forty years ago 
into two great groups, the Tingeregef, who dwell north of 
the river, and the I'regenaten, whose seats are to the south of 
the Niger. I first proceed to enumerate the tribes constituting
