[Footnote 59: “It appears singular that the country immediately to the eastward of Timbuctoo, as far as Kashna, should be more imperfectly known to the Moorish traders, than the rest of Central Africa.”—_Quarterly Review_, May, 1820, p. 234. Compare what Clapperton says about the dangers of the road from Sókoto to Timbúktu. Sec. Exped., p. 235.] APPENDIX. [Illustration: DR. BARTH’S TRAVELS IN NORTH AND CENTRAL AFRICA Sheet No. 15.

A.—_Eastern Route from Tawát to Mabrúk, and thence to Timbúktu._ N.B.—The route proceeds from Aúlef in Tidíkelt, which is situated one short day from Ákabli (this is the right accent), and three days from Ínsala or ʿAín Sálah, the distance between Ákabli and the latter place being about the same. 2nd day. Teríshumín, a well. 4th. Derím. 7th. Ínzíze, a well. As far as this point, the route follows a course a little E. of S. (evidently in the direction of Gógó), but from this point onwards S.W.—The syllable “ín,” or “ʿin,” seems to be the old Berber-Semitic form for “ʿaín.” 14th. Índenán, a well, having crossed the desert tract called Tanezrúfet. 17th. Ín-tabórak; the last stage is only half a day’s march. 19th. Moila. 22nd. Taunant; the last stage is half a day’s march. 24th. Mabrúk. The ordinary and general road from Mabrúk to Timbúktu leads by Árawán:— 2 days. Mʿamún. } } 2. Bú-Jebéha. } I shall speak about these places in the general } account of Ázawád. 2. Árawán. } 4. Tenég el haye, or Tenég el háj. 1½. Timbúktu. Between Tenég el háj and the town there are the following localities:—El Áriye, El Ghába, El Meréra, Áthelet el Megíl, Éllib el Ághebe, Tiyáre el Jefál, Tiyáret el Wása. Route from the hillet e’ Sheikh el Mukhtár, generally called “el hilleh,” (see the itinerary from Timbúktu to the hilleh, Vol. IV. p. 454) to Tósaye, in long days’ marches; direction, as my informant supposes, exactly S.:— 1st day. Núr, a mountain without water. 2nd. A locality on this side of a place called Dergel. 3rd. Kazúft, a large pond of water in the rainy season. 5th. Tósaye, or Tósé, the great narrowing of the river, (see the journal). From the hilleh to Gógó is reckoned a distance of eight days. B.—_Route from Ínzíze to Gógó._
