ccLiv Khalifa was Sheikh of the 'Ababda. CCLV El 'Atish lay between Rosayres and Lake Tsana in what is now Abyssinia. It was the headquarters of a Kdshif (see Werne, p. 197).

When Muhammad ■'Ali reproached Khurshid Pasha for not sending more money to him the latter replied "When my Sennarians cultivate ten times as much as they do they will still only have corn and beasts and no
money to give you." Khurshid Pasha had pleaded their poverty, to which the Pasha's reply had been "They have two Niles and I only one: make the lazy work as I do in Egypt and they wall become rich" (Brun Rollet, Bull. Soc. Geog. 1855, ix, p. 367, quoted by Deherain, p. 168).
Between 1830 and 1838 the taxation rose to 3,125,000 francs, and be-
tween 1838 and 1842 to 5,000,000 (Deherain, pp. 182, 183). ccLix HammadnuUa is presumably the HammadnuUa walad Malak of D3, 128.
'' Budandb" for " Budatdb" is adopted from Muhammad Abd el Magid's MS. They are a section of Mahass and their present representa-
tives hve at Burri on the outskirts of Khartoum: cp. ABC, vi. The making of Khartoum into the official capital of the Sudan dates from this time (1830). In 1822 a permanent military camp only had been made there (Deherain, p. 117, quoting Werne, Expedition zur Entdeckujig der Quellen des Weissen Nil, pp. 44-5). Cp. also Holroyd, p. 167. He visited Khartoum in 1837. It had then 15,000 inhabitants and many houses "built of sunburnt bricks."
CCLXII 'Abd el Kadir walad Dayfulla was a Gamu'i (Fitihab section, Hamaydania subsection). He is buried at el Debba in Gayli district.
CCLXIII This expedition was a failure and Khurshid Pasha suffered
defeat. Ahmad Pasha in 1840 said to Werne (q.v. p. 8) : " First Darfur, and now Taka, will pay no tribute, nor have they done so since Churschid
Pascha was in the Chaaba (the forests where he was defeated)." The enemy had been the Hadendoa under Sheikh Muhammad Din "the defeater of
the Turks under Churschid Pasha" (Werne, p. 55). . ."It seemed to us most wonderful that the Haddenda, a tribe that numbers over 80,000 fighting men, did not set on us, and give us a lesson such as Churschid
Pascha had received from them "(p. 176). . ."The fatal defeat of Churschid Pascha, in which he also lost two guns, to recover which a whole battalion,
save one or two men, were sacrificed" (p. 177). Khurshid Pasha managed
however to get 3000 head of cattle and some cash as tribute (see Werne, p. 109).
CCLXIV Hammad walad el Magdhub is No. 123 in D 3.
" The ruler of. . .Nile" is ^;Ai.j'^\ ^a^-Jlj ijUJLsi^tl ^^51 ^^^U.. CCLXXI " Alakdda" is a synonym for Abyssinians or Abyssinia. Werne uses the word passim in this sense. See, too, his remarks (p. 247).
CCLXXV The cholera evidently spread westwards. El Tunisi speaks of
it ("el haoua el-asfar") in Wadai in 1838 {Voy. Darfour, p. 283).
CCLXXvi Ragab walad Bashir is said to have been one of the 'Abdullab. ccLxxvii El Senussi was no doubt the son of the Bakadi who is men-
tioned (No. 68) in D 3 and in para. CLXII above.
