(the Joliba,) but Avhich may be an adjunct of it, and may run into 
it in the quarter of Tombuctoo/' In Dapper's translation of the 
Description De I'Afrique dn Flamand, 1686, 1 find " Cette contree

Tarrabaleese, 50 journies westward of north, was much spoken 
of from the number of its market places. This must be Tripoli, the 
Arabic corruption of which is Trabolis, The Moors gave me a 
route to Tunis or Toon is, but I cannot recognise any name in 
Major Re nn ell's map, (which I could not procure until my return,) 
unless Sabbai be Sebba, and Mookanassa Mourzouk, in Fezzan. 
There is also another route eastward which I cannot trace. See 
Appendix. 
From Kabarra the Quolla, continuing its course southward of 
east, passed by Uzzalin, Googara,* Koolmanna, Gauw, Tokogirri, 
(perhaps the Tokrur of Edrisi and Gatterer) Askea, Zabirme, and 
Cabi to Yaoora, whicli 1 imagine to be the Youri of Major Ilen- 
nell's map.f De Lisle places a kingdom, Yaouree, south of the 
Niger. It is a very celebrated ferry, occurring in a variety of 
routes from the north of the Quolla to Ashantee, spoken of always 
as westward of Cassina, and with little variation as 25 journies 
from Timbuctoo. Now as the Moors called it one da^-'s journey 
from Sego to Sansanding, and Mr. Park made it scarcely more, I 
will assume this as the rule to calculate the distance from Timbuctoo 
to Yaooree, and afterwards consider its place according to the 
routes from Dagwumba, through it, to Cassina. Twenty five 
journies from Timbuctoo would place Yaoora about 70 miles aboy.e 
* I did not hear of the Gotoijegee, Carmasse, or Gourmon of Amadi Fatouma ; it is 
clear that he was not very correct in names. I never once heard Silla called Sellee, 
Dibble, Sibbie, or Kabra, Rakbarra
