A Geographical Account of the Country , Rivers, Lakes , fyc.from Bornou to Egypt, 
“ The territory of Bornou is very extensive, and contains mountains, sands, and 
lakes : it has also two well known cities ; one is called Sira, the other Kataghoon, whose 
prince is named Dankawa. To the name of Bornou that of Ghoodri is sometimes 
added. 
“ At twenty days’ journey from Bornou the territory of Adamawa lies, which is moun- 
tainous, and contains vales, hills, and rivers. Two-thirds of its inhabitants are infidels, 
and one-third Felan Mahomedans. The metropolis of their sultan is called Ghorin. 
They possess plenty of horses and oxen, and subsist upon the dura (Indian corn). To 
the name of Adamawa the word Foobina is often added. 
“ Next to Adamawa, at two days’ journey through a mountainous desert abounding 
with rivers, the country of Lughwl (Loggun of Denham) lies; it contains a great many 
rivers, lakes, forests, and trees. Its inhabitants are Soodan Mahomedans; but the 
desert between it and AdamawH is infested with infidel robbers, who ride their horses 
without saddles, fight most desperately, often interrupt traffic on the road, and kill any 
one who falls into their hands. 
££ From Lughwi to the territory of Bagharmy, which comes next to it, is two days’ 
journey through a desert containing a great and extensive fresh-water sea, called Asoor 
or Ashoo *. This country is hilly, sandy, and has small mountains ; its width is a distance 
of ten days, and its length is much more. Its inhabitants are Soodan, Kahlans, and 
Arabs, who are robbers, and a treacherous set of people. Their sultan, whose name is 
Borkoomada, is as cruel as themselves, and even slays sheiks and Mahomedans. They 
possess abundance of horses and oxen, get their water from wells, and subsist upon the 
dokliun. 
£< Next to Bagharmy the country of lloogii lies, which is stony, abounding with 
rivers, and inhabited by infidels. 
££ At three days’ journey through places inhabited by Arabs is the territory of 
Wadai ; it is very extensive, hilly, sandy, mountainous, and contains vales, lakes, and 
deep wells. Its sultan is named Yousuf, and his capital, which is situated under high 
mountains, is called Hoowaraf ; the inhabitants are a mixture of Arabs and Persians; 
they are renowned for courage in war, swift horses, and the abundance of their camels, 
oxen, and sheep. They have a great many market places or towns, and their living is 
the dokhun and dura. 
* This must be another name for the great lake Shad or Tchad. — A. S. — Perhaps rather the Asu 
river of Lander. — Ed. 
f The crown prince of Wadai, if we can call him so, was last year in Egypt ; and, upon his autho- 
rity, this country lies under, or at the foot of, the Mountains of the Moon. — A. S.
