BRACELETS AND ANKLETS. 147 



A marked difference is evinced by the natives in 

 wearing these ornaments of the wrists and ankles. 

 From the sea-side to Eboe, the natives wear 

 small chains of iron rings ; between Eboe and 

 Iddah they wear ivory, with a few beads as de- 

 corations ; from Iddah to the Tchadda, Cuttum-

 Nufie, the natives are seen with beads of the 

 country, cowries in a string for bracelets (some 

 of which they have of French manufacture), and 

 striped blue and yellow earthenware, which are 

 brought over the Desert from Tripoli by the 

 Arabs. Such were those of Abusettoo, prin- 

 cipal wife of the King of the Felatahs' prime
