Gourouma, I should suppose he meant this kingdom of Goorooma, 
Dolooe, as subject to it, being probably included under that 
name. I must impress, however, that this northern route from 
Dagwumba to the Niger, being, with that from Kong to Jenne, 
the only ones unauthenticated, otherwise than by cross examina- 
tion, I do not report them with the same confidence, which I do 
the others. Two journies from the northern bank of the Quolla is 
Gamhadi, to which three large towns belong, Dogondaghi, Toodon- 
kassalee, and Toompassea, and numerous dependent crooms. 
There were three routes from Gamhadi, the first northward to 
Houssa 15 journies, passing the large river Gambaroo the ninth, 
between which and Houssa is a district called Zessa. The second 
route is to Katinnee, a city and state of the Mallowa kingdom, one 
month from the Quolla. On this route the Gambaroo is crossed 
the tenth day, and Sowhoonde, Souoola, (perhaps Sala) Quattara- 
quassee, Doorooma, Soroo, Zabbakou, Dinka, Doochingamza, 
and Dammisamia were mentioned as large towns on the route. 
The third route was through the Fillanee country, (doubtless the 
Fullan* of Ben AH) which had been frequently at war with Mal- 
lowa, to the kingdom of Kallaghee, 14 journies from the Quolla, 
the Gambaroo being passed the tenth. The numerals of Kallaghee 
are 
One - - Gadee. 
Two - Sillil. 
Three - Quan 
Four - Foolloo. 
Five - Vydee. 
Six - - Zoodoo. 
Seven - Etkassa.

the cloth of which the plaids of the Scotch Highlanders are made." Ben Ali»
