[Footnote 15: I will here mention, as an instance how careful travellers, even those tolerably well acquainted with the languages of the country through which they travel, must be with regard to the names of places, that when first passing this town I asked a man its name, and, not having distinctly heard what he said, I asked another person who stood by; and he said “mannawáji.” Supposing at the time that this was the name of the place, I wrote it down, but soon convinced myself that it meant nothing but “he does not want to speak,” or “refuses to answer,” and I then learnt on further inquiry that the real name of the town was Grémarí.] [Footnote 16: I almost suspect that this is the water of which Mr. Hutchinson, when in Ashanti, heard a report from the natives under the name “koumouda Gaiguina.” (Bowdich’s Mission to Ashantee, p. 213.)] [Footnote 17: What Koelle relates (Kanúri Proverbs, p. 82, text; p. 211, transl.) on the authority of his informant, that the Bedde, or Bode as he writes, wear wide shirts, “kálgu,” besides the funó, of course (as is the case also with the Marghí) can only have reference to those amongst them who have adopted Islám.] [Footnote 18: The bíllama, or mayor, of this town, who has subjected himself to the authority of Bórnu, bears the title “Mai ʿOmár Béddema.” Fitíti, the residence of the chief Babýshe, or Babúdji, and the chief town of Bedde, lies a short day’s march from here S.S.W. I have more materials of itineraries traversing this region; but they are too indistinct with regard to direction to be used for a topographical sketch of the country.] [Footnote 19: His province comprises the following villages:—Chando, Gíro, Ghasrmarí, Kellerí, Gabchári, Bilaljawa, Nkibúda, Lawandí, Dalarí, Kerí-zemán, Kábi, Gréma Dalarí.] CHAP.
