XX. _Miscellaneous observations on Dar-Fûr, and some of the adjacent countries._ The preceding chapters concerning Dar-Fûr, contain mostly facts of which I was an eye-witness, or received from undoubted authority. But as every information, however minute, may either conduce to facilitate farther progress in this part of Africa, or may perhaps interest the curious reader, as relating to regions little known, I shall now proceed to some matters, related to me on the spot, but the accuracy of which I cannot pretend to vouch. The people of Fûr are represented as using many superstitious ceremonies at the _leathering of the kettle-drum_, a ceremony before mentioned. Among others, it is said, they put to death, in the form of a sacrifice, a young boy and girl. Even to this day, many idols are worshipped by the women of the Sultan’s _Harem_. The mountaineers offer a kind of sacrifice to the deity of the mountains, when they are in want of rain.
