passing anything that happened in his father's time. Nor does he 

 appear to possess those good characteristics which certainly caused 

 his father to deserve a certain amount of respect. A number of 

 Christians, Protestants and Catholics, have been tortured and burnt 

 at the stake by his orders, and Bishop Hannington was murdered 

 by his command at Lubwa, on the borders of Uganda. — R. W. F. 



Kamrasi. — He was the first king of Uny6ro with whom Euro- 

 peans came into contact ; he was visited by Speke and Grant on 

 the 9th of September 1862, at his residence (i° 37' 43" N. lat.), 

 which was situated upon a low tongue of land lying between the 

 Nile and Khor Kafu. His character was very mild, and he treated 

 Speke and Grant welL He died in 1870. After a period of 

 anarchy, in which one of his sons, Kabkamiro, was killed, he was 

 succeeded by Kabrega, the present king of Unyoro. — Ratzel. 



Kabrega, the king of Uny6ro, son of Kamrasi. He received a 

 very bad character from Sir Samuel Baker, who visited him in

 opinion of him, and, indeed, it would appear that he inherits a 

 milder temperament than the Waganda rulers, for Speke contrasted 

 Mtesa's cruelty with Kamrasi's mildness, and at the present time

 son and heir, and the mild and friendly treatment of Kabrega. The 

 Wany6ro are of opinion that they are descended from a more noble 

 race than the Waganda. — Batzel.

Foreigners in Uganda. — Strangers travelling through the coun- 

 try, accompanied by an escort from the king, are always sure of 

 obtaining good accommodation, as the escort goes to the best hut 

 in the village, turns the inhabitants out, and takes possession of 

 it for the time being. The people are, however, hospitable, and en- 

 deavour to make one as comfortable as circumstances will permit. 

 Foreigners are not permitted to enter Uganda without permission 

 from the king ; they are compelled to halt at the first village until it 

 is granted. One or two of the king's pages, bearing a drum and flag 

 as marks of authority, are usually sent with a requisite number of 

 porters to transport the stranger and his goods to the capital • but 

 it is not etiquette for this to be done rapidly, and circuitous routes 

 are always chosen, the halts made being frequent and tantalising. 

 The traveller is also constantly annoyed by the constant disputes
