APPENDIX. 
I will first consider that body of tribes which inhabit 
Waday Proper, or rather Dar Maba, speaking one and the 
same language, called Bora Mabang, of which I have been 
able to collect a tolerably complete vocabulary, comprising 
more than two thousand words, together with a great many 
phrases, including the Lord's Prayer. This group consists 
of the following tribes, or rather sections. First, the Ke- 
lingen*, inhabiting several villages, about one day south of 
Wara ; the Kajanga, two days south of Wara ; the Malanga f , 
to the N.E. ; the Madaba, and the Madala, close to the 
latter ; the Kodoyi, or mountaineers, (from " Kodok," the 
mountain) called by the Arabs " Bu-Senun " (in the singular 
form Sennawy), on account of their red teeth, which colour is 
said to be produced by the quality of the water in their moun- 
tain residences, where they preserve their vigorous bodily 
frames and their intrepid state of mind, and are unanimously 
acknowledged to be the most valiant among all the tribes of 
Waday. The most conspicuous of their mountain seats, 
situated one day's march east of Wara, are Kurungun, the 
residence of their chief ; Bumdan, Mogum, Burkuli, Mutung, 
and W^arshekr. Then follow the smaller sections of the 
Kuno, the Jambo, the A'bti Gedam, the Ogodongda, the 
Kawak, the A'shkiting, the Bili, the Biking, the f Am-Ga- 
mara, the Koromboy, the Girri, settled in A'm-dekik, the 
people of Sheferi, the Manga, settled in the district called 
Firsha; the Amirga, settled in Mashek; the people of 
A^dobu, those of Shibi, those of Tara ; all localities situated 
in the neighbourhood of Wara, and possibly a few others. 
All those I have mentioned are said to be entirely different 
sections, while the Kelingen, the Kajanga, the Malanga, and 
the Kodoyi, are the most numerous, the priority of the former 
consisting in nothing else than the precarious circumstance
