In return, the Egyptian traders, who are generally natives of Augela, a midway town, bring _Muslin turbans_, which are only worn by great and rich people. _Silk_, in stuffs, raw, and in thread. _Gold_, thread and lace. _Striped stuffs_ of silk and cotton woven together, much worn by the merchants in the interior. _Cashmere shawls_, which are not often brought, are generally bought up by the Morocco traders. _Striped silk stuffs_ for women’s under garments, and ready made up shirts. _Silk and cotton_, sewed together in ribbons; also for shirts. _Cotton shirts_, with coloured stripes for women. _Silk handkerchiefs_ for women. _Copper pots and basins_, tinned inside and out. _Plates_, cups, and bowls, of earthen ware. _Glasses_ for lamps, and brass and tin lamps. _Carpets of cotton_, in coloured stripes. _Green leather_, called Zengarr. _Gilt leather_, called Smanto, which the women cut into small stripes, and plait with their hair. _Spices_ of several kinds. _Woollen cloth_ of the most brilliant colours, but of the coarsest and worst quality. _Kaftans_, ready made and lined, of the above cloth. _Beads_ of various kinds and colours. _Agates_ and cornelians roughly cut in the form of hearts. _Armlets_ of glass, of various colours. Brass anklets, armlets, and ear-rings; blunderbusses, pistols, swords, powder, and daggers; gilt stirrups, tents, soap of an inferior quality, musk, sugar, brown and white, in loaves, attar of roses, and jasmin; rosewater, aloes wood and camphor for perfuming the dead, zebed (or civet) of Mecca, and several other perfumes; silver ornaments for women; horses occasionally; bottles, ornamented boxes, tobacco and bowls for pipes; bead headbands for female slaves; sheet tin, and tin articles; red caps, Luban, a gum tasting much like resin, which people chew, and gum mastic; Habsia; handsome girls from Abyssinia, educated in Mecca or Egypt. They are now but seldom brought, the Fezzanners not being rich enough to purchase them as formerly. _From Bornou the Tibboo bring_ Slaves, wooden bowls, kaffala, or gourd bowls; a few tobes or shirts; sheep, goats, and a little honey. Lion’s skins were once brought, but they are not now to be had, owing to the Sultan of Bornou buying them all up for his negresses to sleep on, to prevent their bearing children, as he has already a large family. It is implicitly believed that a woman who sleeps on a lion’s skin never can become pregnant. _From Tuat the Tuarick bring_ Gold procured from Tembuctoo in dust and bars; now, however, rarely and in small quantities. _Silk and gold belts_, with cases to hang the books in. _Tinned copper pots_, basins, &c. _Light jereeds_, or abas, of wool or cotton. _Horses_, hair sacks, red, black, and yellow leather, ornamental bridles. _Korans_, and other religious books, elegantly written, and often illuminated with letters of gold or rich colours.
