toward the northern desert. Yesterday I felt, for 
the first time, this approaching warm season — a hot 
wind, which, curiously enough, now comes from the 
north, whereas before it always came from the 
south. 
Gurai is very bare of trees, the townspeople 
having burnt them all up. I kept a-bed all day, to 
recruit myself from fatigue. The Kashalla went to

reported my state, and said I should come to see 
him in the morning (i. e. of next day). 
According to a Gatronee, Kellai, a country of 
the Tuaricks, is one day only north-west from Gurai. 
It is a small village. Gurasu is five days from this, 
north-west. Dallakauri, also a Tuarick country, is 
one day northwards, or north-east. This is a large 
place. Bultumi, another Tuarick country, small ; 
one day, east. Malumri, one day and a-half east. 
Therrai, a small place, a day beyond Dallakauri, 
north-west, two days from this. Chokada, a small 
place, five or six hours from this. All these places 
are inhabited by the Tuarick tribe of Duggera, viz. 
Kellai, Gurasu, Dallakauri, Bultumi, Malumri, 
Therrai, and Chokada. This tribe infests the 
upper part of the route of Bornou, that between 
the Tibboos and Kuka. Formerly they were great 
bandits, but now they fear the Sultan of Minyo, and 
begin to desist from their bad trade and turn to 
more peaceful habits. Bunai is one day and a- 
half south from Buroi, formerly the capital of the
