GEOGRAPHY. ^ 211 
The Kerrapay country, which is extensive and independent, will 
be described, in proceeding from Cape Coast Castle, along the 
coast, eastward. 
To return to the route from Yahndi to Yaoora, three journies 
from Goodoobirree towards the Quolla through Gillimakafoo, 
Garagaroogee, and Paanghee, is the large city of Kaiama, and 
four beyond it, through Mahalaba, (the nearest name to the Malel 
of Edrisi,) Marramoo, and across the small river Wooroo, (running 
to the Quolla) is the city of Wauwaw,* three journies from the 
Quolla, Ten journies from the northern bank, through Yaoora, 
and skirting the eastern limits of Zamfara, is Goobirree, so called 
by the Moors, and Goobur by the Negroes.f Mr. Beaufoy learned 
that Gubur was to the south of Wangara, and De Lisle writes it 
Goubour. Thence to Kassina, having crossed the large river 
Gambaroo, is eight journies. Eighteen journies, calcuiated at 
18 miles each on a N. E. course, from the altered position of 
Yaoora, would place Kassina in 15° 43' N. and 10° 43' E., instead 
of 16° N. and 11° 45' E. Mr. Lucas learned that Kassina was five 
journies from the Niger, or about 100 miles from that water, which 
it is likely to be from the upper branch or the Gambaroo, which 
river skirting Kanoo, and Oongooroo, (or Wangara.) before it 
descends to the lake Cadee, (though I could not prove satisfac- 
torily that it did so,) would account for Edrisi's placing Kano, 
and Wangara, on the Niger, J From Kassina to Dawoorra is six 
* The Jenne Moor gave this route thus : Wawa to Kiama, a great kingdom, S days ; 
close to the eastward a desert ; 1 day Garagroogee ; 1 day Wala ; 1 day Goodaberry.
