MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 443 
according to the orthography of the foregoing Arabic 
list. 
There is a contradiction between pages 58 and 
101 : this place must necessarily be at more than 
two days' distance from el-Araouan, if it is only 
two days from Timbuctoo ; I have adopted this latter 
distance. 
Y. Oualet, The town of this name is placed^ accord- 
ing to the Jom-nal^ (vol. I page 301) ten days dis- 
tance from el-A'raouan, W. N. W. but it is farther 
from Sego than stated in the text (the same page), 
which is fifteen days south : the interval is nearly 
double. This confirms the conjecture I have raised, 
viz : 1st, that there are two places of this name ; 
2nd, that this is different from the one placed in 
Mungo Park's first map north of Sego, but under the 
'parallel of Lake Dihhie ; and the other N . W. of 
Sego, a little 7iorth of Timbuctoo, This is not the 
place for discussing the situation of Oualet and com- 
paring it with the Gualata of Leo Africanus, which 
he states* to be three hundred miles south of Nun, 
five hundred north of Tumbut, and a hundred from 
the ocean. It may suffice to say, that a single point 
cannot possibly fulfil these different conditions. 
I think, however, that there is a very easy solution
