2nd day. Tésigí, the locality mentioned above.
3rd. Létfatár, a large tamurt or pond.
4th (long), Agáyar, a well or hasi.
5th. Gímí, a hasi, belonging, like the foregoing one, to the district
Aftót.
6th. Keréni, a hasi.
7th. El Wád, a valley without water.
8th. El Árruwa, a hasi.
9th. Encamp in the wilderness without water.
10th. Shemmáma, a name which is given by the Arabs to the whole district
along the north side of the Senegal. You arrive at the river opposite
two villages called (by the Arabs) Gúru ’l hajar. It seems not to be
identical with the Gúri ’l haire of the Fúlbe, as that is one short day
from Bakel, while our route evidently follows a far more westerly
course, even west of the one which I am about to give.
LL.—_Route from Kahaide to the frontier of Tagánet, direction N.N.E.,
according to Háj Íbrahím from Kahaide._
1st day. Énjekúdi, or Tisílit Táleb Mahmúd, a well with an encampment of
Arabs, called collectively by my informant, Shénagít, and Limtúna.
2nd. Monge, a village of the Limtúna, consisting of tents made of
camels’ hair.
3rd. Moyet, another village of the Limtúna, or rather two sections of
this once powerful but now degraded Berber tribe, the Dagebámbera (this
is probably not their proper name), and the Welád e’ Shefága.
4th. Basengíddi, a village inhabited by the Limtúna, the Twabér (a
section of the former), El Hejáj, the Rehála, El Héba, and the Welád
ʿAbd-Allah. The country rather hilly.
5th. Wanja, or Jenúr, as you choose, both of them being settlements of
Arabs and close to each other. Here live the Tagát, the Idáw el Hassan,
the Welád Biyéri, and the Jéjeba; the food of these people consisting of
sour milk, dhurra, and fruits. From this spot you obtain a view of the
mountains of Tagánet and Asába.
6th. Marde, a well with an encampment of the same tribes as Wanja. The
country is hilly and rich in herbage, the mountains or vales being
adorned with plenty of trees.
7th. Téri, a pool of stagnant water in the rainy season, while during
the dry season only a well is to be found here. The country rather
hilly.
8th. Ásherám, a settlement of different tribes. The mountains of Tagánet
seem to be quite near.
9th. Tisílit Akerárer, a wádí in a mountainous tract with scattered
groups of tents inhabited by Arabs.
10th. Dwenki, a mountain with a pool of stagnant water at its foot, but
only in the rainy season; during the dry season only a well is found.
11th. Yogbáshi, a mountain with temporary inhabitants. Few trees.
12th. Nufni, a mountain pass, “the entrance or gate of Tagánet,” the
mountains being very high.
From Nufni to Kasr el Barka is a march of two days.
