On the southern borders of the Sahara the Berber language is contenni- 
DODs with the WolofF, SerawoolU (?), Fulah (?), Sungai, Howssa, and 
Borno (?) languages; its southward extension, on the eastern half of Africa, 
Being sufficiently wide to embrace the whole area of the Great Desert. 
To the east its extension from north to south is h'ss; the Tibboo language 
being spoken as far west as Fezzan, and as far north as the oases of* Augiia 
tad Hiwah. 
The remarkable magnitude of the Berber area was known to the authors 
of tbe Mithridates. 
The French conquest of Algeria has increased our knowledge of the Ber- 
Ixr. The extent of tliis increase may be measured by the following cata¬ 
logue*, wherein the data known to the authors of the Mitbridates are noted.
