Hamites. The origin of the Wahiima is a problem still awaiting 

 solution. 



The inset map is intended to show the districts of the Equatorial 

 Province as they existed about 1882. In the time of Gessi Pasha, 

 the so-called Equatorial Provinces of Egypt included three distinct 

 provinces, each governed by a mudir, viz., Bahr-el-Ghazal, under 

 Gessi Pasha ; Pol, or Bumbek, under Mula Effendi ; and the Equa- 

 torial Province proper (Hat-el-Estiva), under Emin Effendi. When 

 Gessi was recalled (in 1880), the districts of Monbuttu and Makraka 

 were separated from Bahr-el-Ghazal, and, together with Pol, joined 

 to the Equatorial Province. Lupton Bey, believed to be still a 

 prisoner at Khartum, was appointed Governor of Bahr-el-Ghazal. 

 At the time of its greatest extension, the Hat-el-Estiva included the 

 following districts and stations : —

In consequence of the revolt of the Dinka and the advent of 

 emissaries of the Mahdi, Dr. Emin was compelled to abandon the 

 districts, of Bol and Makraka, and to withdraw from some of the 

 outlying stations. Pecently, however, some of the ground lost has 

 been recovered, and in April 1887 the whole of Makraka had been 

 reoccupied, and the following stations were still held, viz., Pejaf 

 and Beden in the district of Lad6 ; Kiri, Muggi, Lahore, and Khor
