Mourzouk 3 ---- 195½ The road distance, at 2¼ British miles per hour, gives 488¾, which, at ¹⁄₂₀ part for windings, as before, would give 463½; or in G. miles about 409. I have deducted 14 for the extraordinary windings and roughness of the paths, in the black Harutsch. Remains G. miles 395, for the direct distance between Augila and Mourzouk.] [Footnote 20: Herodotus has a line of distance from Thebes, westward, in intervals of 10 days each, but very inaccurate.] [Footnote 21: The former statement of the distance, (in the Geog. Herod. p. 167.) is 861. The difference is occasioned by the different modes of projection of the maps; that in Herodotus, being on a spherical projection, the present one being rectilinear.] [Footnote 22: See Proceed. Afr. Assoc. for 1790, chap. iv.] [Footnote 23: The road by Sockna, seems to be the _short_ road to _Phazania_, mentioned by Pliny, lib. v. c. 5.] [Footnote 24: There are several places of the name of _Wadan_, in this Geography; the name designing the conflux of two water-courses, or torrents. Another Wadan is found in the road from Mesurata to Fezzan; and a third, between Fezzan and Bournu.] [Footnote 25: Mr. Horneman came, on the day before he entered the black Harutsch, to a small wood of _green_ trees. This situation accords with that of Zala, being just midway between Augila and Zuila. No town is known to exist there, at present.] [Footnote 26: M. D’Anville reckons the distance between Tripoly and Mourzouk 240 G. miles, only: M. Delisle about 280, or less: and Sanuto, who wrote on the African Geography, (A. D. 1588,) 255. Thus, the 289 allowed above, from Mesurata, go beyond the highest calculation hitherto made, from Tripoly, which is yet farther from Mourzouk, than Mesurata is.] [Footnote 27: Mr. Browne, who did _not_ see the Bahr-bela-ma, was _told_ that it lay a day’s journey to the west of the Natron Lakes; but unless it takes a turn to the west, beyond the point where General A. saw it, he must have been misinformed. See an account of the Bahr-bela-ma in the province of Faiume, in the Geog. Herod. p. 503. The description of these valleys is to be found in the _Mémoires sur l’Egypte_, p. 212.] [Footnote 28: This (I am given to understand) is the idea conveyed in the original Journal.] [Footnote 29: The hills over the valley of Mogara, answer to the hills of _Le Magra_, (perhaps corrupted from _El Mogara_,) of Mr. Beaufoy; Afr. Assoc. 1790, ch. x. and also to the M. _Ogdamus_ of Ptolemy, Afr. Tab. III.] [Footnote 30: See above, p. 8.] [Footnote 31: In the Geogr. of Herod. p. 504.] [Footnote 32: _Ibid._] [Footnote 33: This is explained in the observations on the alluvions of rivers, in the same book, Section xviii.]
