westward, whither they rarelj travelled. I induced a Moor on 
each side the question, and of different countries, to draw in my 
quarters, unknown to each other, what they called a chart of the 
Quolla, for the sake of preserving the several names in their own

source of the Niger. He has drawn two hills, from one of which springs a large river he 
could not name, running westward, the other is the source of the Quolla, and Mr. Hut-

is the Malay of the Moorish charts I procured, between the source and which five places 
or countries were written. Mr. Hutchison writes the course thus, without time or dis- 
tance. Mala, Bambarra, Shego, Sansanding, Jena, Mashina, Dahlea (a small croom on
