452 REPORT— 1887. 



In phot. 789, we have the chief of ^ ^ t , Kh'ama, that is, Soleb iu 



Nnbia, where Thothmes built a celebrated temple. 



In Phot. 787, lower line, are cattle with long decorated horns led as 



tribute by negroes with large feathers on their heads from lie ■L^°' 



which is precisely the name of the Awawa district on the Blue Nile ia 

 Abyssinia. 



In phot. 786, is another important and ancient name ^^^ j2!Kv 



Amam (Masp. Hist. 82, 85 ; Brugsch, Zt. 1882, 31), whicb occurs in 

 the inscription of Una of the Sixth dynasty. It is supposed by Brugsch 

 to be the capital of the Nubian eleventh ' nome,' perhaps the Tama of 

 Pliny (vi. 6). 



The first subordinate name we have to consider is, ■<g>-^|^ >. ^ ^ > 



which we find as No. 11 in the great southern list of Karnak, and also 

 recorded by Seti I., Rameses II.; and Taharqa. But it is not agreed how 

 we are to read this name. Mariette reads it Arem, Arevia, Alem, and 

 says that it is the ancient name of Amara, which is the third great 

 division of Ethiopia. I do not doubt it is Orma, south-west of Abys- 

 sinia. Cast 87. 



^1 is the second name in the southern lists, following imme- 



diately on Cush. Mariette takes it as Adnlis, the ancient port of the 

 inlet now called Annesley Bay. But it seems to me that it may well 

 represent the region Ada] on the coast of Africa west of Bab el Mandeb. 

 Cast 116. 



|1 I\d. No. 20 in the Great List, is identified by Mariette with 

 Zoulla. Is it not, however, rather Dollo in Somali ? Zoulla must repre- 

 sent the classic name 'ASovXis, already claimed by Mariette for I 1 



But the name would also well enough suit Toraf in Abyssinia, if this 

 should be found to agree better with the conditions on examination. 

 Cast 155. 



Among the captives of Medinet Habu we find an important Southern 

 name, No. 5, Tursa, or Turses (Brugsch, ' Geogr. Inschr.' ii. 9, and Taf. 

 viii. fig. 19), represented by its chief. 



But I must proceed to speak of a very interesting group of eighteen 

 names which Mr. Petrie has selected on account of the individual por- 

 traiture which they indicate, so different from a repetition of some con- 

 ventional head in a long row of local names. 



It turns out that these eighteen names all belong to the south, and I 

 trust to show something of the regions which they indicate, taking them 

 as they stand in Mr. Petrie's list. 



No. 2. (No. 211, pi. 26, Mar. 'Karnak' :S:;V ) 36, South List. 



Mariette very well identifies this Annina with 'Awive of the inscription of 

 Adulis, which seems to be somewhere near Metenna on the left bank of 

 the Atbara river, according to this great Egyptologist. But on the other
