distance along the west coast, although a long-horned 
breed appears to have been imported into Loango. 
On the other hand, they seem to reappear in the 
Cameruns, since wood-carvings in the Berlin Ethno- 
logical Museum represent a long - horned breed, 
which probably still exists in the interior.^ Although 
the coast of Upper Guinea is poor in cattle. Sierra 
Leone possesses a small breed with extraordinarily 
long horns, which is often exported to the south 
coast. In Senegambia there survive remnants of a 
breed of large cattle, light or dark grey in colour, 
with very long, lyre-shaped horns, and thus appar- 
ently approximating to the Galla cattle. In fact, 
long-horned cattle of this type would appear to 
extend uninterruptedly across the heart of the 
continent from Senegambia in the west to Darfur 
and the Egyptian Sudan in the east. Again, in the 
Lake Chad district, cattle are met with closely 
approaching the humpless VVatusi breeds of the 
Uganda district. And, as stated on p. i6o, the Bare 
or Kuri cattle of the Bornu have gigantic horns, 
sometimes 20 to 30 inches in girth, and with a lyre- 
shaped curve, bending upwards at the tips. They 
have mostly small humps, and are very like the 
Galla cattle, only still larger, their colour being light. 
They are likewise kept by the Budduma tribe on the 
islands in Lake Chad. 
Long-horned cattle of the zebu type were carried 
by the early Spanish voyagers to many parts of the 
world ; and the so-called Franqueiro cattle of the 
State of Sao Paolo, in Brazil, have preserved their 
original characters in a greater or lesser degree to the 
present day. The exact history of these cattle is not
