Bornou is comprehended between Kaiiiio and Eaghermee. 
people of Waday bring dried fish from a large river to the East 
of Baghermee to W ara, the capital. 
I did not find any one who knew any thing of Solan, Berissa, Tirka, 
Gana, or Noro. People are said to go constantly from Noofy to 
the Great Sea, to trade with the Whites, and they even bring back 
crockery ware, powder, brandy, and arms. One of our informants 
went so far as to assert, that there were one or tM^o people there who 
understood the language of the Whites. I must observe, that from 
Kanno to Zegzeg the road is dry even in winter ; but in sum- 
mer in many places the country is covered with water, M'hich for 
forty days gives it the appearance of a great lake. Our present in- 
formant, an observing man, said that he saw no rivers flowing there ; 
but the water which was "sleeping" came, as he supposed, from 
the Nil of Kashna. He remained trading in Zegzeg until the 
inundation was over, and made some great bargains. For seven 
yards of red cloth, resembhng baize, he purchased nine females, 
three of whom he showed to me ; they were grown up girls, and 
very handsome, taken from Yagooba.
