APPENDIX, No. IL 
Route from Dar Bergoo to the fources of the 
Bahr-el-abiad. 
From Abu Telfan South, ten days journey, is 
faid to be the fource of the Bahr-el-abiad : but 
the particulars of the route my informer was un- 
able to give me, he not having travelled it. 
The place is called Donga, and is the refidence 
of a chief or king of an idolatrous nation. The 
country there is very mountainous, and in the fpot 
where the river lifes are faid to be forty diflinft 
hills : thefe are called Kumri. From them a great 
number of fprings ilTues, which uniting into one 
great channel form the Bahr-el-abiad. The 
people of Bergoo go thither fometimes to feize 
captives, but there is no trade between them and 
the natives. The people are quite naked, black, 
and idolaters. The place is faid to be twenty days 
removed from the confines of Bornou. All the 
road thither is mountainous. From Donga to 
Shilluk 30 days.
