3rd day. Týggebo, a ksar, or village, inhabited by the Teghdaust, a very

remarkable tribe about whom I shall say more farther on, and by the

Tájakánt. The village belongs to the district called Erkíz, perhaps

identical with what others call Taskast. About ten miles west from

Týggebo there is an ancient place called Nyadásh, inhabited likewise by

the Teghdaust.

4th. Ergébe, or rather a resting place in the hilly district called by

that name. In another part of this hilly tract, on the frontier of

Afólle, a party of Zuwaye have recently built a ksar, or small town of

the name of Makámet.

5th. Énwasár, a shallow well or hasi.

10th. Bú-bothá, a well or hasi, evidently near a bothá or swampy

depression. Between Énwasár and this place there are other watering

places, but informant has forgotten their names.

11th. Jók, a well or hasi.

14th. Limódu, a ksar or village inhabited by the Medrámberín, a tribe of

the Kunta.

16th. Jígge, a valley with plenty of water in the rainy season.

17th. El Mal, a small island in a lake of fresh water, and not even

drying up during the dry season.

19th. Krá el ásfar, a creek of the bahr Fúta or Senegal, so called by

the Arabs.

21st. Bír el Ghála, a well.

22nd. Testaye, a well.

23rd. Bothádíye or el Bot-há, as Fort St. Joseph seems to be called by

the Arabs.
