or main stream of the Senegal, where a bridge of a very singular construction 
is thrown across occasionally, for the use of the caravans. It is unlikely that 
bridges should occur at two places in the southern route, and more particu- 
larly as the one at Manna is placed there, because the steep rocky banks, and 
narrow channel of the river, are peculiarly adapted to that kind of bridge. 
It may therefore be concluded, that from Konkodoo, the king's road, in- 
stead of turning to the SW to Satadoo, leads straight on to the westward to 
Ferbanna, and thence into the Woolli road, either at Baneserile or Kir- 
wan ny; being a branch, only, of the great southern road, leading directly 
across the mountains; whilst the other makes a bend to the south, to avoid 
them ; which bend, according to Mr, Park's description of his route, is so 
much like that in Labat's map above Ferbanna, that I cannot help suspect- 
ing the Dambanna of Labat to be meant for the Dindikoo of Mr. Park. 
I return to the construction of the route. 
Ferbanna, in Labat, is placed 33 leagues on a bearing of S 11 0 E from 
Cacullo, another pass on the same river Faleme, in latitude 13 0 54', by Major 
Houghton's observation : and which is about 20 miles south of Naye, where 
Mr. Park crossed it in his way out. The 33 leagues according to the pro- 
portional scale furnished by Mr. Park's route (2,16 each) give G. miles 
for the distance of Ferbanna from Cacullo : or latitude 12 0 46'. From this 
point, Labat describes the course of the river 24 miles higher up, in a SE 
by E direction. About this place, we may suppose that Mr. Park crossed 
the Faleme on his return ; since it agrees with the circumstances of the moun- 
tains, the bend of the road above described, and the distance of Bambouk and 
Bondou; to which may be added, the general accordance of the bearing from 
Manding. Medina, a village, stood on the west bank of the Faleme, at the 
pass ; and Satadoo, the capital of the province, at two miles to the eastward of 
it. It is certain that neither Satadoo, nor Konkodoo, appear in Labat's map. 
In that, Macanna is the name of the country bordering on the south of Bam- 
bouk; but Mr. Park calls it Konkodoo, which means the country of moun- 
tains ; and. appears very characteristic. (These mountains extend through 
Bambouk and Kasson, and are productive in gold.) Again, Combregoudou 
in Labat, occupies the places of Satadoo and Dentila in Mr. Park's descrip-
