GEOGRAPHY.

Sauee lies eight journies W. N.W. from Coomassie, and Moinsan 
fifteen. I could not procure the routes, but Worn and Sannasee 
are two of the largest towns which are passed through. 
Buntookoo, the capital of the kingdom of Gaman, is 11 journies 
N. N.W. of Coomassie by route No. 7. The river Ofim is crossed 
the second day, the Tando the fifth, thence the country becomes 
open. Yammee, the frontier town of Gaman, is reached the eighth 
day. The name of the King of Gaman is Adinkara : the capital, 
though not so large, is allowed to be better built than Coomassie, 
and the Moorish influence has been longer established. It is in- 
comparably the richest country in gold, and small pits were 
described to me, like those Mr. Park saw at Shrondo. The 
numerals are, 
One - 
- Tah. 
Two 
Noo. 
Three 
Sah. 
Four 
Nah. 
Five - 
- Taw. 
Six - 
Torata. 
Seven 
Toorifeenoo. 
Eight 
Toorifeessa. 
Nine 
Toorifeena. 
Ten - 
Noonoo. 
The four principal Gaman townsj are Sarem, which some call the 
capital, Bandakeea, Bundoo, and Nassea, five journies from Kong, 
and seven from Buntookoo. 
A powerful kingdom called Bahooree, which has hitherto suc- 
cessfully resisted the Ashantees, was described to be westward, 
and expected to afford refuge to the King of Gaman on the 
approaching invasion. 
I had heard it reported that the Tando formed the Assince rive^,
