[Footnote 46: Mr. Bruce describes a chain of mountains, extending westward from the Abyssynian branch of the Nile, between the 11nth and 12th degree of north latitude; and having to the north _Dyre_ and _Tegla_. As these places are recognised in Browne’s routes, p. 463, under the names of _Deir_ and _Tuggala_, situated in a mountainous region, I have described the ridge above-mentioned, to run to the WNW instead of west. These places, as well as Harraza and Lebeit, (meant for Ibeit,) are placed very much too far to the west of Sennaar, in the map of Mr. Bruce, Vol. V.] [Footnote 47: See Proceed. Afr. Assoc. for 1790, chap. ii.] [Footnote 48: Euterpe, c. 32.] [Footnote 49: Ptolemy, Afr. Tab. IV. Edrisi, p. 15, _et seq._ Abulfeda, _Prologom._ Article Rivers. _Komri_, or _Kumri_, means _lunar_.] [Footnote 50: I think I perceive in Mr. Browne’s description of Darkulla, the traces of an alluvial country; that is, one whose soil is formed from the deposition of rivers; intersected by their branches; and periodically inundated. Mr. Browne says of the natives, “they are very cleanly, to which the _abundance of water_ in their country, contributes. They have ferry-boats on the river, which are impelled by poles, partly by a double oar, like our canoes. The trees are so large, from the quantity of water and deep clay, that canoes are hollowed out of them, sufficiently capacious to contain ten persons.” Travels, p. 308, 309.] [Footnote 51: So says Leo, p. 254.] [Footnote 52: See the General Map of North Africa, at page 178.] [Footnote 53: For Edrisi, page 13, places this lake (Kauga,) at ten journies eastward of Semegonda in Wangara.] [Footnote 54: Here we have a proof that the Eastern people call _Fittré_ by the name of _Kauga_, (or _Cooka_,) as Horneman says. _Dar_ has been explained by Mr. Browne to mean _country_; as _Dar-Fûr_, the country of Fûr, or Foor.] [Footnote 55: This lake is said by Mr. Horneman, page 118, to be from four to eight journies in circuit; varying its dimensions with the dry or the rainy season; thus increasing threefold with the rains, and leaving, in the dry season, an enriched soil to the husbandman.] [Footnote 56: This seems to be the river mentioned by Ibn al Wardi, (in Hartman’s Edrisi, p. 62,) as coming from the east, and passing by Ghama (read Begama, or Begarmé,) into the _Nile_; meaning the Nile of the Negroes, (our Niger.)] [Footnote 57: It should be observed, that Edrisi, (p. 13,) reckons Kauga to the country of Wangara; although some, says he, reckon it to belong to _Kanem_.
