proportions given: we must assume, however, that this chain falls
away to the country of Bari, but swells up south of Bari, and joins

[Footnote 9: Gold is, however, unknown in Bari.—_The Author._]
[Footnote 10: I do not know of any tributaries belonging to the
Sobàt.—_The Author._]
[Footnote 11: The magnet iron-stone is not found in the valley of
Berri, but principally in the mountains of Bari, especially in Korèk,
where it must be, however, general; for the iron-sand I brought with
me, which was already cleared from stones, and perhaps from mud,
appears in the mountains themselves, in the dry beds of the torrents,
and washed out hollows and ravines.—_The Author._]
