of Ukara), and Bahari ya Pili " (second sea), and it 
has been suggested that the terms indicate a new and 
distinct lake from the Nyanza. Our own impression 
is that it is a part of the one vast lake, though we are 
disposed to admit we may be mistaken. However, 
there is nothing in the above expressions to prove 
that there are two lakes. What is more natural than 
that the Wasuahili, coming upon the Nyanza in this 
place, should apply to it the name of the locality in 
which it is found 1 — that part of it would still be the 
Bahari of Ukara, though the lake might extend 
itself into other lands. But it is suggested that 
" Bahari ya Pili " distinctly separates it from another 
one, and that the other one must be the Nyanza. 
But the truth is, the first sea, in the mind of the 
Msuahili traveller, would naturally be the Indian 
Ocean ; his notion, when coming upon a broad 
expanse like that of the Nyanza, being that he had 
crossed the continent, and had reached the western 
sea ; not indeed, in his estimation, the Atlantic, 
because the Msuahili does not know it under that 
name, but only under what is here called " Bahari ya 
Pili," which amounts to the same thing. That is the 
impression which has always been made upon my 
mind by the expression Bahari ya Pili,'' when used 
by the Wasuahili, and I am satisfied that that is 
what they mean. 
The route to Kavirondo from Utimi proceeds in a

three days to Mosiro, then in a more westerly direc- 
tion, over open plains for several days ; and then
