4th. Jékeré, a place at present inconsiderable, but once of large size, inhabited by the Kánku, (identical with the Kúnkuná?) a tribe or section of the Kánembú. 5th. Arrive, before the heat is great, at the well Lefádu, without inhabitants, make a short halt, and reach Mailo, a place with a lake full of fish, and inhabited by a peculiar tribe called Haddáda or Búngu, who are said to speak the Kanúri language, but go almost naked, being only clothed with a leather wrapper round their loins, and are armed with bows and arrows and the góliyó. They are very expert bowmen, and, when attacked, withdraw into the dense forests of their district (to which seems to apply the general name of Bárí), and know well how to defend their independence in politics as well as in religion—for they are pagans. To them belong the famous clan called, at least by the Welád Slimán, Dwárda Hájra. A celebrated town of the Haddáda is Dímári, the residence of Malá Díma. In Bárí there is a market held every Thursday, as it seems, in that part of it which is nearest to Mʿawó. In 1853 the Welád Slimán made a strict alliance with the Haddáda, and in consequence defeated, in their woody district, the officer of Wádáy, called Agíd el Bahr. For the general outlines of this little-known region, the following itinerary from Kúsuri to Mʿawó, according to the Kánemma chief Ámsakay, is of great importance:— 1st day. Sleep in the wilderness. 2nd. Sleep near Káú Abúddala, a rocky eminence near the lake (see Denham, vol. i. p. 261.). Two routes, connecting this important spot with Abú-Gher and Mélé, will be given in another place. 3rd. Yámanúk Kaléma, a large, open, straggling village, apparently named from the warlike chief Ámanúk or Yámanúk, well known from Denham’s narrative. 4th. Bárí, a large place or district formerly under the authority of the sheikh of Bórnu, near the shore of the lake. 5th. Dímári, a considerable place belonging to Díma, called by Ámsakay a vice-governor of Kánem. 6th. Gúmsu, a place situated in a valley rich in date-trees, inhabited by Kánembú and Shúwa. 7th. Mandó, or Mondó, a large market-place, formerly under the khalífa of Bórnu. 8th. Mʿawó. 6th. Tághghel, a place situated on the border of the lagoon, and inhabited by the Kajídi, who cultivate a good deal of corn, and have large herds of camels. Arrive before the heat of the day. If agreeable, you can go on from Jékeré without stopping, and reach Tághghel the same day at sunset. N.B.—The direction of all the wádiyán, or valleys, which you cross on this route, is from west to east. II.—FROM BERÍ TO TÁGHGHEL, GOING ALONG THE BORDER OF THE LAKE. 1st day. Kólogó. 2nd. Késkawa, inhabited by the Kúbberi, with much cultivation of corn, principally “masr” (_Zea Maïs_), besides beans; much cattle. There was formerly also a village or district Késkawa on the southern shore of the lake, one day from Ngála. 3rd. Kóskodó.
