of latitude. The chief towns and villages on the 
coast are Mombasa, Takaungu, Malinde, Mambrui, 
Ngomeni, Kauon the Ozi, Lamu, Patte, Sihu or Siwe, 
and Paza or Patha. The principal rivers and creeks are 
those of Mombasa, already described ; the Takaungu 
creek, receiving the fresh-water stream Uvui, which 
rises in Taita; Kilife, a creek and good harbour*; Uy- 
ambo, a mere creek; the Sabaki river ; Pa Muamba, 
a creek in the Formosa bay ; the Mto Tana, also in the 
Formosa bay ; and the Ozi. Between this and Patte 
there are other small creeks, but there is no river, as Mr. 
Cooley supposed, behind Patte. The accounts given 
by the natives of the rivers they cross on the route 
to Ukambani agree with what we know of the coast. 
They say they first pass over the Uvui ; second, the 
Tsavo ; third, the Adi or Athi ; fourth, the Tiwa ; fifth, 
the Thua; sixth, the Kiluluma, Dana, or Thana. The 
Adi is the upper extension of the Sabaki, and receives 
the two minor streams on either side of it, viz., the 
Tsavo and the Tiwa, neither of which streams is 
perennial, being found dry in the hot season. The 
Thua also probably finds its way into the Sabaki. 
Now of the Sabaki Mr. Cooley writes : " The Sabaki, 
the true position of which he (Dr. K.) mistakes, is a 
river entering, not the Bay of Malinde (an obsolete 
and incorrect expression) but Pamamba, or Hippopo- 
tamus (commonly called Formosa) Bay. It takes its 
name, doubtless, from the town of Sabaki, which 
stands on a hill visible to the north-west of Malinde, 
and is said to be near the Ozi, fifteen days up this 
river. This circumstance, together with Khamis ben 
Othman's opinion, that the Sabaki is a branch of the 
Ozi, leads to the conclusion that the Ozi flows under
