correct the ' Routes of Xative Caravans from the Coast to 

 the Interior of Eastern Africa, chiefly from information 

 given by Sadi bin Ahedi, a native of a district near Grazi 

 (Grasi Bandar?) in Udogo, a little north of Zanzibar.' 

 Especially advocated by my old and tried friend Mr Alex- 

 ander Findiay, F.R.Gr.S., this valuable paper was published 

 in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society (pp. 303 — 

 339, Xo. xi. Vol. xl. of 1870), and I felt somewhat surprised 

 that the extent of its importance has not attracted more 

 attention in England. 



I will consider this addition to our scanty knowledge 

 of one of the most interesting regions in tropical Africa 

 under two heads — the philological and the geographical. 



Firstly, Mr Wakeiield, like Doctors Livingstone and 

 Kirk, all being practical linguists, invariably uses the 

 system of Zangian orthography, adopted by the ' Monibas 

 Mission/ and by myself since 1859. He speaks, for instance, 

 of Kiliina-njaro and Unyamwezi, not the Monomoezi of 

 Mr Cooley or ' the authentic word Mueni Muezi/ trans- 

 lated landlord, or petty chief country (p. 11, The 

 Memoir on the Lake Regions of East Africa reviewed, 

 &c, by W. D. Cooley. London : Stanford, 1864). We 

 And in Mr Wakefield's Notes (p. 316) < Lima, a term de- 

 noting extraordinary size — Mliina being the general term 

 iur mountain/ whilst (p. 321) Ki-Mrima is justly applied 

 to the dialect spoken on the Mrima or mainland facing 

 Zanzibar Island. We read also (323) 1 Mtanganyiko/ 

 KisawahiH, meaning the place of mingling or mixture (ren- 

 dezvous).' This is precisely the meaning attached by me 



1 Possibly a clerical error for Mtanganyika : similarly in the Notes 

 (p. 313) we find Risimani, evidently a misprint for Kisima-ni. I shall 

 write to Mr Waketield upon the subject.
