adjacent to it, lying between the rivers Gambia and Faleme ; Foola-dao, 
and Brooko, along the upper part of the Senegal river; Wassela, beyond 
the upper part of the Niger; and Massina, lower down on the same river, 
and joining to Tombuctoo on the west. 
The Moors have in very few instances, established themselves on the south 
of the great rivers. They have advanced /ar^^^^^ to the south in the western 
quarter of Africa ; so that the common boundary of the two races, passes, in - 
respect of the parallels on the globe, with a considerable degree of obliquity, 
to the north, in its way from the river Senegal towards Nubia, and the Nile.* 
Mr. Park arranges the Moorish States which form the frontier towards Ni- 
gritia^ together with the Negro states opposed to them, on the south, in the 
line of his progress, in the following order : 
The small Moorish state of Gedumab, situated on the north bank of the 
Senegal river, and the last that touches on it,t is opposed to the small Negro 
kingdom of Kajaaga, on the south. This latter occupies the extremity of 
the navigable course . of the Senegal, terminated in this place, by the cataract 
of F'low. 
From this point, the Negro and Foulah states occupy both banks of the 
Senegal river, to its source: and beyond that, both banks of the- Niger (or 
Joliba) likewise, to the lake Dibbie, situated beyond the term of Mr. Park's 
expedition. This space is divided, unequally, between Kasson, a hilly 
strong country, but of small extent; and which has the Moors of Jaffnoo on 
the north : Kaarta, a considerable state, which has Ludamar for its opposite 
(a country held by Ali, a Moorish prince, who is loaded with infamy, on the 
score of maltreatment of the only two Europeans, who appear to have entered 
his country, in latter times) : Bambara, of still more consideration, which has 
on the north, the Moorish kingdom of Beeroo, and Massina, a Foulah state. 
Here Mr. Park/'s personal knowledge ends ; but he learnt that Tombuctoo 
and Houssa, which succeed in order, to Massina, and occupy both sides of 
* The common boundary of the Moors and Negroes, in the map of Mr. Park's route,' 
is described by a blue line. 
f The Moors appear to be masters of the northern bank of the Senegal through the 
greatest part of its navigable course : the Foulahs of the southern bank.
