ruled by a number of petty native cliicfs apparently 

 independent of each other. 



Bango. — The village of another petty chief in the Jinga 

 country. End of 1903. 



Bihe. — A district in the north-east of the occupied portion of 

 the Benguella province ; rouglily only the eastern half 

 of the Benguella province is only nominally Portuguese. 

 End of 1904. 



Bingondo. — A locality in the northern part of Bihe. The 

 country is wooded, interspersed with large open glades, 

 and well populated. October 1904. 



Canhoca. — An important station on tlie Loanda to Lucalla 

 railway. Nov. 1903-reb. 1904. 



Duque de Braganga. — Some hundreds of years ago this was 

 an important Portuguese fort, now it is an insignificant 

 military station with a dozen shops. It lies on the south 

 side of the Lucalla River. End of 1903. 



Fort Don Carlos. — The most northern fort of the Loanda 

 province, and in process of erection when I visited it. 

 It lies at the junction of the Cambo and Quango rivers. 

 End of 1903.

 Jan. 1904.

 Jingos when I visited it towards the end of 1903. A 

 fort was being built. Near here is a small lake which I 

 named " Sarmento,^^ where I caught the new Cyprino- 

 dontid fish named Haplochilus macrurus (Blgr. Ann. 

 & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) xiv. 1904, p. 19). 



Pungo Andongo. — A famous spot for hundreds of years, 

 known also as the " pedras nigras " or " black rocks,'' 

 to which prisoners were transported from Lisbon. 

 Similar to our " Botany Bay " as an exile for prisoners. 

 It consists of quaint and curious gigantic rocks, hundreds 

 of feet high, rising suddenly out of the level plain. It 

 is still important, owing to the sugar-plantations in the 

 plain. The village of the same name consists of official 

 quarters, a few shops, and an American Mission. June 

 and July 1903. 



Quilenges. — A district, not far from the ocean, in the south- 

 western corner of Benguella province. The ruins of an 

 old fort of the same name still serves as the official 

 quarters of the officer in charge of the district. It is a
