clianged for slaves, elephants' teetli, &c. There is another 

 considerable village called Leeween, on the left of the 

 Govinda, some distance inland from that stream, inhabited 

 by negroes of no professed religion. The Eesoomadoo 

 Galla, a race of cannibals, the Oombaney, Howwahsow, 

 and Arrooseeya Galla tribes, intermixed with Soomallies, 

 inhabit the banks of the Dahawa, nearest the sea-coast ; 

 they do not cultivate the ground, but subsist on meat, 

 milk, and herbs. The Guracha * Galla inhabit the interior 

 south of the line, and the Borran ^ Galla north of the line ; 

 their language is nearly similar ; they are represented to 

 be cannibals and cruel thieves. The inhabitants opposite 

 Zanzibar are Wuddooa ^ negroes, but there is reason to 

 believe this part of the coast was formerly inhabited by 

 the Guracha Galhi, or, as my instructions style them, the 

 Giagas.^ The Soomallies inhabit the sea-coast from the 

 equator north round Cape Guardafui to Burburreea and 

 Zeylah ; their possessions extend some distance inland. 

 The Souallies, on the contrary, arc confined close to the 

 sea-coast, and inhabit that part of it from the line south 

 to about Cape Delgado, tribes of Caffres occasionally in- 

 tervening, particularly to the southward of Zanzibar. The 

 various tribes of negroes brought to this port for sale are 

 too numerous to describe ; the principal arc the Mee- 

 amaizees,^ whose country, at tlirce months' distance, 

 abounds in elephants' teeth, and some gold is found there. 



The Muckwa," whose country is two months' journey 

 distant from the sea-coast. 



' Now generally written Kurachi or Kurachasi, as tlio Arrooseeya are 

 the Arusi tribe. ^ Or Boreu. '' The AVadoe tribe.
