CHAPTER XL 
JOURNEY IN THE COUNTRY OF THE BACHAPINS, FROM THE KAMHANNI 
MOUNTAINS TO THE RIVER MAKKWARIN. 
Six miles from Tarchonanthus Station, brought us to the entrance 
of the pass through the Kamhdnni Mountains. These I have taken 
for the line of separation between the two races of the Hotten- 
tots and Caffres ; as it is, in fact, the middle of that neutral, 
or rather, common, ground which intervenes between one African 
nation and another, and is partially inhabited by both. The range 
appeared at this part of it, to stretch from the south-east to the 
north-west ; and to be formed by a great number of low grassy 
mountains, a sight rarely seen in the Hottentot portion of the 
Transgariepine. This range, a little farther onward, takes a northerly- 
direction, and rises into more lofty and rocky mountains: among them, 
one which I have distinguished by the name of Kamhdnni Peak, ap- 
peared the highest and most remarkable.
