South, from this point of departure we come to the Walad Bahammu, at a distance of one day; an oasis of two villages; all Tuatee bandits, riding maharees, wearing turkadees, like Tuaricks. One of these villages is called Akobli, known in the route to Timbuctoo. North, from Ain Salah are mentioned the Shellah, a tribe living in tents, speaking a Berber dialect; two days. My informant knows no more. East, from this point there is only desert towards Ghadamez. West, from the same, Timmemoun and Ourara. The person who gave me this information is one Haj Mohammed Ben Welid, a native of Ghadamez. Besides the above route from Tuat to Wadnoun, I am indebted to him for the Niffee route. Six years ago he was at Niffee, and saw there a large American vessel trading for slaves and other merchandise. * * * * * _Route from Kanou to Niffee._ From Kanou, south, to Baibaishi, five days; walled town, and residence of a sultan; about the size of Zinder, situate amongst rocks: a river of continually running water.
