named Saleh. They are a great warlike people, possessing fine swift horses and many 
cattle. They subsist upon the corn called dokhun (millet) ; and their country is hilly 
and sandy, and has a large lake, called Dury.” 
S. “ Is the country of Jelghooji ; between it and Lebtako is two days’ journey, one 
of which is through villages, and the other through desert plains, in the midst of which 
there is a large lake, called Bookma. The king of this country is named Hamarkoli, 
and the people are Felans, and well known as great warriors. They possess abundance 
of swift horses, oxen, and other cattle. The country is mountainous, woody, and has a 
well-known lake, called Jeboo, besides a great many wells.” 
T. “ Is the territory of Hajri, one day’s journey from Jelghooji. It is exten- 
sive, but very rocky, stony, and mountainous ; has a great many sandy hills and a few 
vales ; water in it is very scarce, and it has but few wells, so much so, that its inhabit- 
ants are obliged to store their water, during the rainy season, within the trunks of trees. 
The inhabitants of the vales are the Felans, who originally conquered these countries; 
but the mountains are inhabited by a people called Benoo-Hami (the children of Ham), 
of the tribe of Sokai. They are great warriors, subsist upon the dokhun, and have 
abundance of swift horses and oxen. In the middle of this country there is a very great 
and lofty mountain, equal to which is not known in those parts, and here is its represent- 
ation. [See in the chart.] Upon it there is a town called Oonbori, whose king is 
named Noohoo-ghaloo-farma, of the tribe of Sokai, and is renowned for his generosity 
and munificence. 
“ All these countries, except Oonbori, are subject to our Lord the Prince of the 
Believers, Mohammed Bello, whom may God cause to be ever victorious, for the glory 
of the faithful, and the annihilation of the infidels.” 
U. “ Is the territory of Masena, seven days’ journey from Hajri: it is very extensive, 
fertile, and abounds with rivers and lakes. Its villages join both the old and modern 
ones of the Felans. Its inhabitants ai’e powerful warriors, since ancient times possessing 
abundance of oxen and sheep, and are blessed with every comfort of food and living ; 
most of them subsist upon rice, butter, fish, and meat. In the middle of the country 
there are two lofty mountains, called Soroba and Goran, and its cattle feed, throughout 
the four seasons of the year, upon grass ; and as the lands are almost continually covered 
with water, the shepherds and herdsmen gather the grass, heap it up in large stacks, 
and, while the cattle are grazing, live upon the tops thereof till the waters are dried up. 
Though this may appear marvellous, it is the fact with these people.” 
Nos. 1 , 2, 3, and 4. “ Are four rivers (perhaps canals) belonging to Masena.” 
“ The present Sultan of Masena is Ahmad Hamad Labo, who rules over Tim- 
buctoo, Jeri, and Oonbori, and indeed he may be called the sovereign of the Gharb 
(West) in Soodan. He is now at war with Sego. 
“From Soccatoo to Benji is one day’s journey through Sisilbi, which is the me-
