[Footnote 60: Kálgo, at the northern foot of the mountain, lies south- west from here, and the town of Gurma, at present destroyed, north-east beyond the valley.] [Footnote 61: For a statement of the few facts which have come to my knowledge, with regard to the history of this kingdom, see Appendix.] [Footnote 62: Dallul Fógha joins the Niger at Bírni-n-Dóle, one day and a half from Gáya.] [Footnote 63: For the other places of Déndina, see Appendix V. Here I will only enumerate a few villages belonging to the districts which we passed on our road from Zogírma, and lying just in the border district of the Songhay and Háusa territories. Close to Júnju lie the following places, or rather hamlets, at present greatly reduced: Karákará, ʿAbd el ʿAzi, Jabóre, Bébé, Dámana, Gangánge. The following places are said to lie along the dallul Fógha; but I am not able to indicate their situation more distinctly: Rúma, Béngu, Baná Harukári, Nyánsamé, Kúduru, Gergánga and Lúdu. There is no such town as “Bírni-n-Fógha,” Fógha being only the name of the valley; but not far from Kallíul there is another town called Báura. Most of the villages mentioned are inhabited by pagans.] [Illustration: DR. BARTH’S TRAVELS IN NORTH AND CENTRAL AFRICA Sheet No. 13.
