rated by a branch of the great chain of Fouta Diallon. M. Mol- 
lien could not doubt the identity of the rivers whose sources he 
visited, with those which flow at some distance under the name of 
Senegal and Falemé, since the first is called Ba-Fing in this place, 
as at its confluence with the Falemé, which river, at its source, and 
in a great part of its course, bears the name of Téné, (the Tenyah 
of Mungo Park.) 
The map in the second journey of Mungo Park, and the 
itinerary of M. Mollien, enabled us to trace the course of the Gam- 
bia. The English traveller, after having ascended the Gambia as 
fcir as Keyi, began on the 27th of April, 1805, to travel by land. 
On the 15th of May he was at Tili-Corra, on the banks of the 
river, and two miles and a half further to the east, he again saw it 
from the top of a hill ; it came from the E. S. E., formed a bend, and 
then ran to the S. 8. W. of the hills which extend along the right 
or north bank of the Gambia, and which conceal it from the view 
of those who are in the plain. The next day he passed the Niolico, 
which was almost dry at that season, and the Nerico on the 18th. 
His observations gave him 14^4 51 north latitude. On the 21st 
he determined that of Tambico, to be 13° 53'. On the 23d he 
traversed the Niolo Koba, the bed of which was only covered with 
water at intervals, and on the 25th he entered the desert of Tenda, 
and after having passed a river like the Niolico, he perceived the 
first chain of mountains, running from S. S. W. to N. N. E. He 
halted at Soutitaba, at the foot of these mountains, and situated in 
13" 33' 38" north latitude. He passed the first link of these moun- 
tains, and saw a stream in a beautiful valley, flowing to the north
