course of the Faleme river, upwards ; which he has shortened by about twenty- 
six geographical miles; carrying that part no higher than to latitude 13°, 
which by the original (or rather the proportioned) scale, should be extended 
to 12° 34'. 
This Map of Labat, then, gives the position of Ferbanna on the Faleme 
river ; * as also the southern boundaries of Bondou and Bambouk, with 
other particulars. Mr. Park, when at the pass of the Faleme river, between 
Satadoo and Medina,t obtained some general notices concerning his position, 
in respect of the above points. For he learnt that Ferbanna (Tenda) lay at 
some distance lower down the river : that Bondou (by the account of a ftllow- 
traveller who was on his way thither) lay six journies to the northward; and 
he learnt also the general position of Bambouk. To this may be added, that he 
kept on his right hand (to the N), and even touched the foot of it at Dindi- 
koo, a ridge of mountains, answering to that which, in Labat's map, crosses 
the Faleme above Ferbanna ; and which is also found precisely at the cor- 
responding point, with Dindikoo. Moreover, it preserves in Labat, the same 
distance from the southern boundary of Bambouk, as that seen by Park. 
And finally, it appears, by the description of the southern route pointed out 
by the King of Bambouk (see Mem. 1793, p. 11.), that Mr, Park passed 
to the southward of Ferbanna, and yet not far from it. For the king's road 
from Ferbanna (Tenda) led eastward, through Concoudou (the Konkodoo of 
Park, a province) as also through Silloumana, Gangaran, Gadou, and Man- 
ding. Now there is every reasonable proof that (bating Ferbanna) this is the 
very route by which Mr. Park returned. His route went through Gangaran 
(Gankaran), on the one hand, Konkodoo on the other. Sillou-Mana is very 
probably intended for KuUo-Manna,^ a famous pass over the Black River, 
* Not the Ferbanna of Bambouk, at which Major Houghton resided ; but Ferbanna 
Tenda, through which the King of Bambouk described the southern route of the Slatees 
to lead, from Woolli to Manding. (See Mem. Af. Assoc. 1793 ; p. 11.) 
f There are several places of this name. The one in question lies to the south of 
Bambouk. 
% KuUo is a province of Jallankadoo, occupying both banks of the Ba-fing, or Black 
River ; and Manna the name of the town. [Park.]
