From Sego to Sansanding was called one journey, from Sansanding 
to Jenne three. Jenne was described as on an island of the Niger, 
the town considerable, and fortified, and with large houses to pray 
in. I did not understand that it was subject to Timbuctoo ; it cer-

mabbie, Jimballa (the Jinbala of Mr. Park, which they persisted 
was not on an island of the Niger, but on the northern bank of it)

Rennelfs map) Matarooch, and Makkasoorfoo, probably the 
Soorka's, whom Mr. Park mentioned as inhabiting the northern 
bank of the river between Jinnie and Timbuctoo : he also writes 
that it is 12 journies by land from Jinnie to Timbuctoo. The hori-

is about 100 B. miles, and thence to Timbuctoo 90 more. Now
