The river Tana deserves a separate consideration. 
This also has been confounded with the Ozi. I do 
not know whether Dr. Krapf so confounded it, but it 
is not so confounded upon Dr. Krapfs mjap. Dr. 
Krapfs map is more correct than any other I know 
with respect to the position of these rivers, though 
even he makes the Tana enter the sea too far south. 
Tana is the Kisuahili name for this river; the Wapo- 
komo call it Pokomo, or more correctly, Dzana, and 
the Wakamba, Thana. Mto is simply the Kisuahili 
word for river. By the Gallas it is called Galana 
Dima, and Galana Maro. It was known on the old 
maps by the name Qilimancy. Dr. Krapf says: *T 
had long wished to set on foot the navigation of the 
so-called Qilimancy, which may be probably equiva- 
lent to Kilimansi, or Kilima ja Mansi, (mountain of the 
water). The Qilimancy is therefore nothing else than 
the river Dana, which is formed by the snow water of 
Kegnia, and in its further course receives many rivers, 
for instance, the Dida, Kingaji, and Ludi." Mr. Cooley 
on this writes: "No maps of the present day, of any 
value, mark a river Qilimancy on the eastern coast 
of Africa, because there is no such river. But, says 
our learned missionary, it should be properly written 
Kilimansi. Properly indeed ! How can propriety be 
affirmed of a name formed by crushing two African 
words in a German mould 1 The expression 'moun- 
tain-water,' exemplifies Teutonic idiom, but Kilima 
Mansi, or Kilima ja Mansi, undipped and uncrushed 
would sound as ridiculous and barbarous to an African 
as ' mons-aqml to a Roman ear. We doubt whether 
Mansi (for Maji, water) be used on the coast anywhere 
north of the Makua, but the decisive point is that
