Note 25 — II

Philip Askell Benton translation

Adansonia digitata. [Tilho, Doc. sc. i. 221, gives its astronomical position as lat. 12° 55′ 36″, long. 11° 13′ 34″. Kukawa no longer exists except as a mass of ruins and as a farm hamlet. Provincial head-quarters were moved to Maiduguri (Maifoni) in 1906, and the new town of Shehuri (Yeriwa) built for the Shehu and his following.]
