1 64 TRAVELS TO DISCOVER 



gives the name to the diftrict through which we were paf£ 

 ing. Its water is muddy and ill-tailed, and falls into the 

 Tacazze, as do all the rivers we had yet pa/Ted. Dagafha- 

 ha bears N. N. E. from this ftation. A great dew fell this 

 night ; the firil we had yet obferved. 



The 29th, at fix o'clock in the morning, we continued 

 our journey from AnderafTa, through thick woods of fmall 

 trees, quite overgrown, and covered with wild oats, reeds,, 

 and long grafs, fo that it was very difficult to find a path 

 through them. We were not without confiderable appre- 

 henfion, from our nearnefs to the Shangalla, who were but 

 two days journey diftant from us to the W. N. W. and had 

 frequently made excurfions to the wild country where we 

 now were. Hauza was upon a mountain fouth from us ; 

 after travelling along the edge of a hill, with the river on 

 our left hand, we crofted it : it is called the Bowiha, and is 

 the largeft we had lately feem 



At nine o'clock we encamped upon the fmall river An- 

 gari, that gives its name to a diftricl: which begins at the 

 Bowiha where AnderafTa ends. The river Angari is much 

 fmaller than the Bowiha : it rifes to the weftward in a plain 

 near Montefegla ; after running half a mile, it falls down, 

 a fteep precipice into a valley, then turns to the N. E. and,, 

 after a courfe of two miles and a half farther, joins the Bow- 

 iha a little above the ford. 



The fmall village Angari lies about two miles S. S. W« 

 on the top of a hill. Hauza (which feems a large town 

 formed by a collection of many villages) is fix miles fouth, 

 pleafantly fituated among a variety of mountains, all of dif-
