7 ■ Itinerary. 
“ From Sira to Boogho is a distance of twenty days ; thence to Mooshkoom-Foosh, 
to Sary, to Sarwa, to Indam or Indag, to Warsha, to Booshra, to the mountain called 
Kaghoom, to Mount Kingha, to Mount Dooziyat, to Mount Aboo-Talfan, to Mount 
Aboo-Zarafat ; then to llooga, to Dygo, to Kaja, to Katoonu; then to the mountain of 
Nubia, to the gold mine called Tagly, which has no less than ninety-nine mountains, 
the name of each of which begins with F ; but three only of these mountains are known, 
whose names are as follow: Fazooglu, Fafaklu, and Foondooflu. In two days from 
this place, you will get to the Nile of Sonnar ; but from Tagly to Egypt, or Cairo, 
which lies northward on the left side of it, is a journey of forty days, travelling con- 
tinually by the bank of the Nile; while from Tagly to Sawaken, which is on the sea 
coast (the Red Sea), is a distance of thirty days only.” 
N. B. — This is the last of the seven papers which, it appears, were written in Captain 
Clapperton’s memorandum book, by order of Sultan Bello, and are dated “ the 5th of 
Shaaban, 1242, A.H;” about the 3d of March, 1827, A. D.

8. “ The people ofNefe came originally from Kashna, and their prince, Thoodyar, 
from Atagher. He first conquered the territory of Beni, from the river called Bakoo to 
that which is named Kaduna ; then the territories of Booduor Boodi, and of Bassa or 
Boosa. He thence embarked on the river Kowara, and subdued the people on its bank, 
called Abagha ; after which he conquered the country of Abbi (in which we now are*), 
and that of Kanbari, in conjunction with the Prince of Yaouri. The river of these 
countries is called Kantagoora. From Yaouri he proceeded to the great mountain, or 
mountains, where Nefe, Beni, and Fatti-attu are: he then went to the river Katha, or 
Kasha, and conquered the countries thereabouts ; which are, Ghoor-noofu, Koogra, 
Jemma, Doonfee, Taboo, and Aza s or Azai. This prince was succeeded by Ithshab, 
whose successor was Ithkootoo; and the whole number of princes who ruled over this 
kingdom were thirteen. The rest of the eastern parts, as far as Katana, are in possession 
of a prince named Bakoo. 
“ About the right of Atagher the country called Nafry lies, by the side of a river 
larger than that of Kowara. 
“ The people of Beni are now extremely poor. They are submissive to their princes, 
till and cultivate the lands of others, and pay capitation tax. Sheep, goats, oxen, horses, 
and fowls, are scarce in their country ; and as to asses, there are none, except what are 
imported from other countries. They have, however, plenty of elephants. 
“ The river in the territory of Kowara lies west, on the right hand side ; and that 
of Kaduna is in the centre ; while the river Bakoo, or Gakoo, is in the east.”

service. — A. S.
