242) he received similar information, viz. That there were mountains t > the S. E. Or in those parts under our considera- tion, always covered with snow. Amidst this mighty range springs the great river Joliba, and is here known under the name of the Ahmar, or the River of Savages, as the African Mahommedans designate it. Dupuis was farther informed by the Mahommedans of Kong and Mandingo, that the sources of the Joliba were " behind their country, " that is, to the southward of it. Numerous br...anches flow from the ridge mentioned, first westward, next north-westward, then north- erly, and next to the N. E. , through the valleys of Ganowa, Maly, and the country of Bambarra. Until clearing the mountains on the south, the bed of the Ahmar or Joliba has, like the beds of its tributary streams, many cataracts. The source of its principal stream is laid down in 5° 40' W. Long. And 7° 54' N. Lat. , which is still further west than the distances given by Dupuis would indicate ; but this position agrees ex- actly, or very nearly indeed, with the apparent direction of the ridge or chain running south-westward to Cape Palmas.
