installed in one of their principal dwelling-places, called 
Nan aw a. Indeed the Tama are said to frequent at present 
the markets of Wad ay, while the " Kay Maba," or the people 
of Maba Proper, do not dare to visit theirs. The Tama 
possess a good many horses, but only few cattle. 
After the Tama I range the A'bu. Sharib Gnorga* and 
Darna, settled to the east of the Menagon and Mararit ; the 
A'bu Sharib Kubu, settled in Gofianga, close to A'ndabu. ; the 
Abu Sharib Sungorif, inhabiting a considerable district 
towards the frontier of Dar Fur, intermingled with the 
Masalit — they are principally noted for their fine tall horses; 
the A'bu. Sharib Shall, close to the Sungori ; the A'bu Sharib 
Shokhen, inhabiting principally the well-known place of the 
same name ; the A'bu Sharib Bubala, intimate friends of the 
Kodoyi, whose eastern neighbours they are ; and, finally, the 
Wela Jem ma, belonging likewise to the large group of the 
A'bu Sharib, but distinguished, as it is asserted, by a peculiar 
language. 
After this group I rank the Masalit, who are said to be the 
most numerous next to the A'bu Sharib, and who may pro- 
bably be found to have some affinity with the Sungori, with 
whom they are promiscuously intermingled, although the 
state of barbarism into which they have sunk appears to be 
of the very lowest description, as they are even said to be 
guilty of devouring the flesh of human beings, an imputation 
made chiefly against that section of them established in 
the place called Nyesere, close to the frontier of Dar Fur. 
Having mentioned next in order to the Masalit, on account 
of the neighbourhood of their dwelling-places, the tribe of 
the c Ali, I shall retrace my steps, returning to the neighbour- 
hood of Wara, where I shall name first the Mi mi, a tribe 
distinguished, it is said, by a peculiar language ; and then 
rank a group comprising several tribes, the degree of whose 
affinity to each other can only be ascertained after vocabu-
