442 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 
wards inclines to the north and west^ to fall into the 
Dhioliba. 
T. Kong or Koung, The country of this name, being 
situated between the magnetic S. S. E. and S.J S. E. 
from the village of Douasso, (vol. I p. 417) lies to 
the true south of that village. Our traveller was in- 
formed by a Kong-man, that the journey required 
a month and a half. Part of this journey is through 
a mountainous country. The position, therefore, of 
Kong cannot be far from the seventh degree north, 
or its longitude far from that of Douasso, 7" 45' west. 
U. Direction of the river near Djenne. The Journal 
states, page 444, vol. I, that the island is formed 
by an arm of the western branch, which comes from 
the west-north- west. The island of Djenne, accord- 
ing to the author, is about twelve or fifteen miles 
in circumference ; but he admits that he did not 
go round it, and it appears to be much larger. 
V. Distance from Djenni to Isaca, The text states it 
at a day and a half's journey; but even in a straight 
line it proves to be more than three and a half. The 
traveller has reckoned it at four days by water; 
so that this passage requires correction. 
X. Bousheyah. The word Bousbehey in the text, 
(pages 58 and 101, vol. II) must be thus written.
