(All the following names are water-stations, i.e. places where there are wells.) Logsur, three days and a-half; well: and so of the rest. Gharghar, three days; tents of wandering tribes of Tuaricks, principally Hagar and Maghatah. Yaizair, two days. From Gharghar to Tuat there are tents of Tuaricks along all this line of route.

Tagajert, two days. Amasir, two days. Arak, two days. Tajmut, two days. Tegtamin, one day. Agmamar, two days. Loknaig, two days. Shab, two days. Hash-Lugwaira, one day. El-Gesser (Tuat), one day and a-half; a village. Ain-Salah, an hour or two. On this route there are no oases, no date-palms; the road lies through valleys and over plains, lined with rocky mountains, like those of Asben or Aheer. There is no region of sand, but now and then the earth assumes a sandy character. My informant is a Tuatee, who has travelled this route; in fact, no other persons but people of Tuat, unless Hagars and Maghatah, can do so in safety. I could not succeed in extracting more information from my informant. He was a mere barbarian, and pestered me, whilst writing the route, with demands for all sorts of things. Though a resident of the town of Tuat, he was in grain and mould a thorough Targhee bandit. THE DIFFERENT RACES IN KUKA. _Resident or Strangers._ 1. Shua (the first Arab settlers in Bornou). 2.
