By God thou hast been distinguished over all God's creatures.

All the creatures of God, in heaven and on earth, bless thee:

all the creatures of God, in heaven and on earth, praise thee:

all the creatures of God, in heaven and
on earth, salute thee:

all the creatures of God, in heaven and
on earth, do homage to thee:
all that is blessed in creation is blessed
through thee:

all those who have been distinguished
among the creatures, have been distin-
guished on thy account:

all that has been created, has been created through thy grace.

On account of thy blessing have I come to thee:

for such a purpose have I addressed thee. May God hear my prayer through thy

grace.

Syllebawa, O'ri, Báaró, Kubodo, Laini, Gerterána (E. of Dánkala), Tuddú-Mankéri, Denke (Syllebáwa), Girábshi, Kalambéna (W. of Sókoto), B.

Pangalalla, B. Móza, Yakurútu (all W. from Sókoto), Gu

Aúgi and Méra, the principal towns of Kebbi, together with Koido, were destroyed by 'Aliyu. Aúgi was situated N. from Senina, the same distance as from Gáwasú to Sokoto, from Argúngo E.N.E. eight or ten miles. Opposite Aúgi the dallul Gaminda joins the gulbi-n-Kebbi from the N., and along it lie the following places: Birni-n-Gaminda, B. Rúwa, Bakále, Alkaliji, Bizzer, Sakibiyáre, B. Buldi, Múza, Baiyáwa, Dankal, Bubúche, close to the junction, and about eight or ten miles from Argúngu.

Í here enumerate the towns and villages along the gulbi-n-Zóma, although only part of them belong to Kebbi. This is a branch which joins the gulbi-n-Sokoto at the town of Gindí, about eight miles S. E. from and opposite Bunza, and is equal to it in the quantity of water, although the whole valley (or faddama) is said not to be of the same width. Commencing from Bámaga, you pass on the S. side of the river the town of Zóma, which has given its name to the river, and is situated half way between A'nka and Gummi, and three good days S. from Sókoto; starting from Sokoto you reach Danchádi, at the same distance as Wurno; thence to Mágaji, a long night's march the same distance as from Zekka to Bunka; from here Zóma, the same distance as Rába from Wurno; then you pass Dan Garúnfa, Jáka, Birnin-Féllelé, B. Kaiwa (on the S. side of the river), B. Tuddú (still in the territory of Zóma), B. Kágalí; B. Gummi (S.W. from the river, with a small territory of its own), Gelénge, B. Gússurá (in the territory of Gummi), B. Adábka, B. Gairi, Girkau (the first town of Kebbi), Zabga, Dánganám, Birni-n-Kebbe (different from Kebbi). Along the N. side of the river, again beginning with B. Zoma: Takáre, Sabónbirni, B. Mágaji, B. Gazúrra (where 'Atíku, the predecessor of 'Alíyu, made a foray), Búkkuru, B. Solli, B. Fanda, B. Kunda (belonging to the territory of Gummi), B. Falamgúngu (N. of Gairi); from hence Gindí W. at a short distance. It is impossible to lay down the river from these data with accuracy. Probably not all the towns have been given in their natural order. According to other information, between A'nka and Takáre, which lie on the N. bank, there are Birni-n-Tuddú káramí and Bunkádo, and between Takáre and Gazúrra, Dan garúnfa and B. Mázu. At Birni-n-Zondu, 25 m. from Gindí, the mayo-rannéo, or dhannéo (a very general name, also to be recognized in Clapperton's Maiyarro), or fári-n-rúwa, joins the gulbi-n-Sokoto, and is said to be larger than the G. Zoma.

Garurua-n-Kebbi, rába-n-Khalilu.

Towns of Kebbi belonging to Khalilu, as far as they are inhabited by Hausawa and Fulbe (or Fellani):

The chief places besides Argúngu, the residence of the rebel chief, and the centre of the pagan worship with the holy tree (a tamarind-tree), called "tunka," are Gando, Birni-n-Kebbi, Tambawel,* and Jéga;† the following list observes a certain topographical order.

PART II.

A FEW REMARKS ON THE PROVINCE OF YA'URI, AND ON THOSE OF MAʼURI AND ZABE'RMA.

Mohammed, the elder brother and predecessor of Khalílu, granted imána to DanAy, a Nyffawi by birth, who ruled Yauri for thirty years, and was succeeded by Mafori, who governs Yauri at the present time.

The annual tribute which Yauri pays to Gandó consists of 500 shirts, and from thirty to fifty slaves, while that of Núpe consists of 1000 shirts and 300 slaves.

I will here add a few remarks with regard to Núpe or Nyffi. The northern frontier of Núpe or Nyffi is Fáshi; the eastern border toward Gwári is Líffe; the southern one, Kóro, toward Yúguchi and Búnu. The large town Charagi, inhabited half by Yorubawa, half by Nyffáwa, is two days from Rába by way of Karákará. It is the Yorubawa who call the Núpe people Tápa. The Nyffawa themselves call the Hausawa, Kenchi, and the Fulbe, Goy. The Hausawa call the Nyffawa, as well as some other related tribes, Baibay. The rivulet or fáddama called Kontagóra separates the territory of the Abéwa or Ebbáwa from that of Núpe, while on the other side it borders upon Yáuri. On the Kontagóra is the large town Kúra, belonging to the Kámbari. The Abéwa live especially on the Manjára, are said to have an idiom of their own, and are armed exclusively with arrows. The people of Núpe Proper are exclusively cavalry.

Principal towns and villages in the province of Yáuri, beginning from Bessekúttu: Shenga, Kákaté, Dukku, B. Yáuri, Gangwo, Sawasi, Tondi, Funtu-n-duchi, Fombo, Sombo, A'rgidá, Shóbbonó, Rábakó, Bágedé, Mofóngi, Lúchi, Móchipá, Ngáski, A'gurá, O'baká (large place), Berway, Kwéne, Zente, Mojínga, all near to B. Yauri; Mófiló (domain of the heir apparent or "dan serkí," half a day east from Yauri), Wára (a place of embarkation, "báki-n-makétare," on the Kwára), Jatáwu, Kawoje, between Yauri and a place called Dandi Féllani; Bokki-júrurú, Lanne, Sonwuay, Duchi- or Dútsi-n-Mari. Now follow the islands, or "gúngu," in the river, all of which are inhabited by Kámbari: Shishiya, Rópiya, Gabáilo. The principal towns of the independent Kámbari are Rejó, Béto, Fantandáchi, A'chira, Shébbenó, Rába-n-Kámbari, Ubakka.

I here add the seats of three particular tribes settled in the neighborhood of Yáuri: the Bangi, between Yáuri and Kotórkoshe; the Shengawa in Jakwa, between Yauri and Hausa and the Dekérkeri, settled in Tabé, Zúru, Bangenjatawa, and in Kagaye.

Day.

1st. Tsáru.

4th. Yáuri.

I here give, as I have no other place, a short itinerary from Yáuri to Kotú-nkúra, or rather Kotá-n-koró.
