THE ARTICLES OT COMMERCE CARRIED FROM FEZZAN TO SOUDAX, 
BORNOU, AXD WADAY, ARE 
Beads. The following kinds are at present in fashion : Mjecl- 
drah el Baida (white smallpox) ; of white china, having raised spots 
on them. Erwandadi ; transparent, oval, and dark blue. Koon- 
tombali ; red, transparent, having white streaks and figures, of an 
oval form. Khorz el Acli ; small beads of opaque glass, all colours. 
Menjura ; large octagonal beads of red, white, and green. The 
white are at present preferred : a fowl is purchased for a bead of 
this kind. Khabba Jedeeda ; black oval beads, having white or 
Hght blue rings on them. Guttuf ; the smallest size, of all colours, 
mixed. Dhab el Mesquin (or poor man's gold) ; black china beads, 
having yellow spots raised on them. Bandeaus of beads and neck- 
laces ready made. I have been thus particular for the information 
of future travellers, as the beads we took with us were unsaleable, 
and the above are always to be purchased at Tripoli.
