west,) lastly that of the Gambia in 11° north latitude, and 9" west 
longitude, (11" 20' west.) 
These sources are placed more to the west in the map of M. 
Mollien ; that of the Ba Fing, or the Senegal, in 10° 10' north 
latitude, and 13" 38' west longitude from Paris; that of the Falemé 
in 10° 20' north latitude, and 13° 20 west longitude ; that of the 
Gambia in 10° 30' north latitude, and 13° 35' west longitude ; lastly, 
those of the Rio Grande in 10° 37' north latitude, and 13° 37' west 
longitude. 
The sources of the rivers discovered by M. Mollien, are, as we 
see, near to each other, and situated in a groupe of mountains, 
lying to the north-west, and at a little distance from Timbo. Watt 
and Winterbottom had not any knowledge of these rivers, which 
ought not to surprise us : as it was not the object of their journey 
to explore these sources, they, probably, did not question the Negroes 
concerning them ; and the latter, not being interrogated, would 
not be at all inclined to give information which was not demanded ; 
for the narrative of M. Mollien shows how anxious they are to 
conceal every thing that relates to the sources of the rivers. How- 
ever, in the map of the route of Watt and Winterbottom, of which 
there is a copy in Dui-and's Atlas, we observe some indications of 
streams, the positions of which correspond with those of the rivers 
marked in the environs of Timbo, in the map of M. Mollien. 
They crossed the Ba-Fing, which is marked in their map ; but as 
they travelled before Mungo Park had proved the identity of the 
Ba-Fing and the Senegal, they had no suspicion of that circum- 
stance
