The bearings of the road from Cubeabea to Wara, and thence 
to the capital of Bornou, are not laid down but from numerous 
inquiries, and fome labour employed in adjufting them. That 
road occupies fixty days. The pofition of the capital of Bornou 
varies from that which is allotted to it in the lateft maps, but 
fcrupuloufly adheres to the bearings and diftance given. Abii- 
Shareh is from Cohhe nearly W. by N. Abu-Shareh to Wara, 
N. W. by N. From Wara to the capital of Bagbermi, between 
W. N. W. and N. W. by W. Road winding S. From Bag- 
hermi to Kottocomb^ N. by W. 2 W. From Kottocomb to Bornou 
nearly in the fame diredion. 
Sennaar^ as well as the courfe of the Nile, the coaft of the 
Arabian gulf, Mafouah^ Gondar^ Swakem^ &c. have the fame 
pofition as in M. Rennell's map. Sennaar is in longitude 
33*^ 3^' 3° '' Cobbe being in 28° 8', the difference between 
them will be 5° 2' 30" — Ril cannot be more than twelve or 
thirteen miles E. of Cobbe^ but Ril is only twenty-three days 
journey from Sejinaar. There remain therefore on a dired: 
line 4° 50' which is about twelve and a half geometrical miles 
per day ; and admitting the fmalleft poffible deviation, will give 
fourteen miles by the road. This on fo long a journey is much 
more than might be expected, and by no means accords with 
the route to Bornou, which allows only about nine miles for 
each day's march. — D'Anville's pofition of Sennaar (29° 39') 
would bring it too near to Ril, leaving only eighty miles 
between
