The Meeyahoo ^ is fifty days' journey ofi* tlie Gooroo ^ 

 — is fifteen daj^s inland. 



The Dohai,^ ten days from the coast, are cannibals. 



The Meegeendoo * are situated one months' journey 

 from the sea-port of Quiloa. 



The Jiggua/ four days, and the Moozumbarree,^ three 

 days, &c. The interior is represented as a most fertile 

 country, abounding in cattle and elephants. 



I have not been able to gather any satisfactory inform- 

 ation regarding the Eiver Zambesie, its course, the town 

 of Sofala, character of its natives, or description of the 

 surrounding country. The Christian States of Yufat and 

 Shoa on the confines of Abyssinia, with the large towns of 

 Tombuctoo, Cashna, and Hoossayee, said to be in the 

 interior of Africa or Ethiopia, under the government of 

 Mussulman princes, together with the circumstances rela- 

 tive to the triennial voyages of Solomon's fleet, from the 

 Eslantic Gulf to Ophir, are unknown to the inhabitants 

 of this place; nor have I yet met with one who could 

 afibrd me any satisfactory accounts of the River JYiger, or 

 Joliba, or the Nile of Soudan, or South Africa. 



I have made lists of the Souallie, Soomallie, and 

 Galla dialects, and shall add such others as I moj be able 

 to collect. 



The coast from Cape Guardafui to Magadosho is arid 

 ' The Wahiao, S.E. of the Nyassa Lake. 



^ The Wanguru of Southern Unyamwezi, or of the eastern ghauts, 

 opposite Zanzibar. The text is here corrupt. 



^ This appears to be a corruption of Wadoe, called in p. 510 

 Wuddooa. 



* The Wangindo tribe on the road from Kilwa to the Nyassa Lake. 



^ The tribes of the Chaga Highland. 



® The hill-men of Usumbara. Elanitic.
