In 1818 Mollien explored parts of central Africa, where he discovered the sources of both the Gambia and the Rio Grande rivers. The imminent rainy season prevented him from reaching Timbuktoo and he was forced to abandon his travels in Timbo, the capital of Futa Dschalon. He was the first to transverse Senegal and Gambia from North to South and provides useful additional information to the research of Mungo Park. Gay 2910.
