APPENDIX VIII. 
GOVERNMENT OF WA'DA'Y. 
It appears, from the above exposition of the various elements 
of which the population of the country of Waday consists, that 
its government cannot but be of a varied composition, and 
that it has not as yet assumed an harmoniously concentrated 
character. If we investigate the manner in which the govern- 
ment of this number of various nationalities is in general 
managed, we have first to observe that, no doubt in imitation 
of Dar-Fur, the w r hole of the empire of Waday is divided into 
four great sections : viz. the inhabitants of the western dis- 
tricts, or "Lulul-endi; " those of the southern provinces, or 
" Motay-endi ; " those of the eastern districts, or " Talunt- 
endi ; " and, lastly, those of the northern ones, or " Turtalu." 
Over these four large departments or provinces a like number 
of Kemakel or Kamkolaks have been placed, the Kam- 
kolak of the west, at present K. Nehed, having his residence 
in Gosbeda, a village belonging to Mashek, three days W.S.W. 
from Wara ; the Kamkolak of the southern districts, at pre- 
sent Mohammed, having his residence in Kurkuti, two days 
south from Wara, on the Beteha ; the Kamkolak of the 
East, at present Abakr (Abu. Bakr) Weled Meram, residing 
near the frontier of Dar-Fur ; and, finally, that of the north, 
at present Sheikh- el- Arab, son of Tondo, residing in Megeren, 
about twenty miles north from Wara. 
Besides these four principal governors or Kamkolaks, there 
are four smaller ones, called Kamkolak-endikrek, who appear 
to be the substitutes of the former, but seem besides to have 
some particular duties to perform. Their names at present 
are Kamkolak Nasr, belonging to K. Nehed; K. Hejab, 
stationed in the south ; K. Kelingen, and Kamkolak Rakeb.
