of Dimba and its villages. From the eminence over-look- 
ing the valley we observed a herd of antelopes. On our 
arrival at Wallu we were informed that there was but one 
single canoe at the ferry, and that it was used chiefly on 
market days. 
August 31. Before day-break Hawkey and I set out for 
the small sandy creek. Here we again fired at some of the 
large wild ducks, and observed recent traces of hippo- 
potami. On ascending some hills we saw several flocks of 
Guinea-fowls, of which we shot one, and when engaged in 
the pursuit of these birds, we came in sight of four ante- 
lopes, two of which were of a blackish colour on the back, 
the rest of the body brown, with large spiral horns. We 
met with but few new plants. 
Sept. 1st. Lockhart this day discovered the female tree 
of Musanga. Another tree which had been seen with fruit 
a long time before was now found with flowers. ‘The bark 
and leaves of the Casa tree, which the Gangam Kissey 
made use of as an ordeal, were brought to us. ‘They are 
said to be poisonous. Of some climbers I got only im- 
perfect specimens. 
Sept. 2d. We set out for our final tour in company with 
the Captain and Hawkey ; Fitzmaurice was ordered to go 
back to the ships ; Hodder was sent up to Inga, and Gal- 
wey was carried back again sick. Accompanied by twelve 
men, and the negroes carrying our baggage, we proceeded 
by way of Wallu and along the valley under the foot of the 
hills. Some antelopes were seen. We halted at a rivulet
