From Timbuctoo * to Houssa is 20 journies ; the three first 
through a woody country, and over the branch of the Niger to 
Azibbie, the frontier town. Houssa was said to be the largest city 
north or south of the Quolla, except Bornoo ; the Moorish influ- 
ence to have been established there beyond memory, and the 
King's name Serragkee. Cabi is not the name of the kingdom, 
but of a large dependent town and district on the Niger. Mallowa, 
or Marrowa, as the Negroes pronounce it, (for they seemed inva- 
riably to substitute r for the / of the Moors, as Quorra for Quolla)-!^ 
* " All the country from where the Joliba dischatges itself into the Quolla is subject 
to the Sultan Malisimiel. What makes the Sultan of Timbuctoo so much talked of, is 
his being near the water side ; but his master, the Sultan of Malisimiel considers him 
merely as a deputy or governor. The four greatest monarchs known on the banks of 
the Quolla, are Baharnoo, Santambool, Malisimiel, and Malla." W. H. Malla is 
Mallowa. 
•j- The Chaymas substitute r for a substitution that arises from a defect of pronun- 
ciation, common in every zone. The substitution of r for I characterizes, for example, 
the Bashmouric dialect of the Coptic language. It is thus that the Caribbees of the 
Oroonoko have been transformed into Galibi, in French Guiana, by confounding r with 
and softening the c. The Tamanach has made choraro (solalo) of the Spanish word 
soldado.*" Humboldt's persoBal narrative, book iii. chap, 9,
