SOUTHERN AFRICA. 
Leetakoo are the Morolongs (Barroloos of Trut- 
ter) and the Wanketzens \ concerning the precise 
situation and distance of whom, Mr Campbell 
seems to hare received somewhat contradictory in-

predecessors. This enabled them to observe the 
junction of four great rivers, the Malalareen, the 
Yellow river, the Alexander, and the Cradock, 
which concur in forming the Great or Orange 
river, a stream which runs here nearly across the 
continent, and falls into the Atlantic. The party-
