APPENDIX lit. 
As Anislimen or tolba of this group, the following tribes 
became known to me : — 
Isakkamaren, and Kel-sakkamaren, the latter with the chief 
El Kadhi Agge Hammeten, both these tribes being evi- 
dently fragments of the tribe of the Seghmara (however 
the name may be spelt), described by El Bekri, and 
other Arab geographers, as settled on the northern bank 
of the Niger, round about Tademekka, and occupying a 
district of many days' journey in extent ; indeed it must 
be supposed that the Tademekka at that time were 
in a certain degree dependent on the Seghmara. The 
greater portion of this tribe we have found settled at the 
present time in districts much farther towards the north. 
See Vol. I. p. 565. seq. The Ibidukelen, and finally a 
group of three tribes which originally belonged to the 
I'ghelad, namely, the Kel-tarashit, the Kel-kabaye, and 
the Kel el horma. 
The Tin geregef have received this name from the sandy 
downs, or ellib," as they are called by the Arabs, 
bordering on the north side of the Niger. Their chief 
is A'wab, whom I have frequently mentioned in my 
Journal, and they are, as far as I was able to make out, 
only divided into five sections ; — 
Tingeregef ehe-n-tamellelt, or those of the white tent ; 
Tingeregef ehe-n-takawelit, or those of the black 
tent, to whom belongs Awab ; the E'hemed, Eneka, 
and Telamedes. 
In a certain loose connection with this group are the 
Tghelad, a very numerous tribe, at present reduced to the 
position of Amslimen, who are spread over a large tract of 
country, but are especially settled in the district Taganet, 
between A'zawad and Timbuktu. Here they have dug the 
deep wells which distinguish that district, and their clans
