I shall have occasion, when speaking of the country of the Tibboo, to mention three rivers of note which I am able to trace to some distance at ten days to the north of Wadāy. I now return to the accounts of the bearings of several places of note from Bornou. Birnie Jedeed to Baghermi, ten long days, east-south-east. Maoo, principal town of Kanem, fifteen days, north-north-east. Kanno, ten days, west. Kooka, fifteen days, east by south. Kattagum, four days, west-south-west. Ringhem, nine days, west-south-west. Shaikoo, two days, west. Kawar, ten days, north-eastward. Bilma, fifteen days, north-eastward. Makaree, eight days, east-south-east. Ongornoo, fourteen days, east by south. Zegzeg, fifteen days, south-west. Zakari, eight days, westerly. Waday, sixteen days, easterly. Bahr el Ghazal (south part), ten days, east-north-east. Kashna, sixteen days, west. Morzouk, forty days, north. At Kattagum, a river called Nil by the natives flows across the road from Bornou to Kashna to the north-east. It is of great magnitude, and is passed on rafts; the water is sweet, and full of fish. It rises periodically, and sometimes overflows the country. Ongornoo is situated within a day of Kooka, and is much frequented by traders in the spring, when a large market is held there, principally for slaves, who are brought from all the surrounding countries in security; a general armistice prevailing during the annual sale. It is subject to Bornou: the people are Mohammedans. A river flows past it to the eastward. Bahr el Ghazal, the south part of which is about ten days east-north-east of Birnie, runs nearly north-east and south-west for a great distance. It is inhabited by Negro tribes, of whom the greater part are Kaffirs, or, at all events, not Moslems. The nearest part of it to Bornou is about ten days east-north-east. It is an immense wadey, or valley full of trees, and having many inhabitants, who are wanderers. Elephants, rhinoceroses, lions, buffaloes, and the camelopard, or giraffe, called Jimel Allah جمل الله, or God’s camel, by the Arabs, are in great numbers. The natives generally use a kind of corrupt Arabic, though one or two languages peculiar to the country are also spoken. These people are a fine race, well made, and very active. They wear their hair, which is not woolly, long and plaited. The general dress is leather, but some go entirely naked. The cattle are in such numbers, that parts of the country appear literally covered with them. Great quantities of elephants’ teeth are procured in the woods.
