MAP OF THE EQUATOEIAL PEOVINCE. 



This map is merely a sketch intended to illustrate the record of 

 Dr. Emm's travels. The whole of the region to the west of the 

 Nile is subject to very considerable changes. The routes, so care- 

 fully laid down by Dr. Schweinfurth, Dr. Junker, and a few other 

 explorers, are dependent upon the Meshra-er-Rek and Wandi being 

 placed correctly upon the map, but neither the latitudes, still less the 

 longitudes, of these places have hitherto been satisfactorily deter- 

 mined. Lupton Bey's latitudes in the northern portion of the 

 Bahr-el-Ghazal have established the general accuracy of Dr. Schwein- 

 f urth's itineraries, but they help us little towards placing the upper 

 Welle- Makua in its correct position. It is to be hoped that Mr. 

 Stanley's well-found expedition will furnish a few trustworthy 

 positions, which will enable us to combine the vast mass of existing 

 materials in a satisfactory manner. 



The linguistic colouring of the map is based upon the vocabularies 

 and other information furnished by Dr. Schweinfurth, Colonel Long, 

 Heuglin, Marno, Dr. Felkin, Beltrame, Mitterutzner, Wakefield, 

 and Emin Pasha. Very much remains to be done before our know- 

 ledge can be called satisfactory, especially as regards the many 

 aboriginal tribes who have been subjected by the invading Zande 

 and Monbuttu. Dr. Junker will no doubt be able to clear up many 

 doubtful points. In the meantime, two great facts stand out very 

 distinctly, viz., the extension of the Dinka and their kin from the 

 eastern shore of the Victoria Nyanza to the White Nile, and the 

 proximity of tribes allied to the Masai (Wakuavi) to the upper 

 Nile. That the Latiika, for instance, are the kinsmen of the 

 Wakuavi is clearly proved by Emin Pasha's vocabularies. The 

 Galla, too, have found a place upon our map ; and it is just possible 

 that their neighbours, the Girata, are Woratta or Dauro, whom 

 d'Abbadie classes together with the Gebberd (Sidama) and Agau as
