Informant, Sídi Áhmed el Mazúki el Bágheni._ 1st day. Asér (probably identical with Swéra, the latter being the diminutive form), a village inhabited by Bámbara. You arrive a little after sunset, having started from Sansándi in the afternoon. 2nd. A place with a dhaye or tank. Pass the heat of the day in a deserted place, leaving Karadúgu a little to the E.

The latter, which comprises this whole tract of country, is a larger province, and better inhabited than Aússa.
