E were now among the Gere Gallas, a tribe that 
extends one hundred and fifty miles west of the 
Ganana. The three sub-divisions are the Gere Morro, 
nearest the Ganana, the Gere Badi, and to the west the 
Gere Libin, — all Mohammedans except the Gere Libin, 
who are atheists. They speak the Galla language, and 
are as light colored as the Dagodi, resembling these also 
in their mode of living and dress. They are rich in cattle, 
camels, sheep, goats, and donkeys, and grow about the 
banks of the Dawa a little grain. 
A frightful windstorm arose after we had arrived at 
Uunsi, tearing up bushes and loose déérzs, and blinding 
us with dust. The tents had to be held down by many 
men, while oryx and zebra skins, camel blankets and bags, 
were blown far from the camp, and everything was covered 
with a thick layer of dust. Later a heavy thunderstorm 
arose, to our great relief, as it promised good food for the 
camels ahead. I found many ammonites here.’ 
' The country to the south of here is called Boula, and that to the north- 
west Gone Taka.
