but at Ain-Salah, belonging to the same canton and at 
two days' journey from it ; this place is cited in all the 
itineraries between Tripoli and the western Soudan. 
According to the Major its situation is twenty nine

minutes thirty seconds north latitude. Notwithstanding the 
difference between this and the situation allotted to this 
town upon all the maps, I have thought it right to enter 
it in the general map of the travels. 
The other places of the Sahara, such as Akka, Tatta, 
el-Kabla,* for want of new data, have been fixed from a 
comparison of those upon which the map of M. Walcke- 
naer, or those of Messrs. Lapie, Brue, Berghaus, &c., 
were formed. With respect to the names of tribes and 
colonies, I have endeavoured to place them with all possi- 
ble exactness, and have been obliged to differ from seve- 
ral recent maps in other respects very valuable.

M. Caillie heard of an important situation, that of Sala ^ 
but the accounts were too vague to be compared with the 
descriptions of the Arabs. 
I shall finish the examination of this third part of 
* Perhaps el-Quebly^XA5 improperly pronounced; this word, 
signifying which is to the south, should, it is probable, be erased from 
the maps.
