To the southward of Agame a considerable number of petty 
districts are found in the neighbourhood of Senafe, which may 
properly be considered as forming a part of the province of En- 
derta, to which, in fact, they have for a long time been subordi- 
nate : these consist of Derra, Asme, Womburta, Desa, Muntille, 
and Monos, mountainous districts, forming by their position the 
eastern boundaries of Tigre. Besides these, Enderta embraces 
within its limits the territories of Moculla, Dirbah, Gambela, 
together with Upper and Lower Gibba, to which I shall add 
Wazza, Saharti, and Giralta, though these sometimes are enu- 
merated among the distinct provinces. The capital of Enderta 
is Antalo,* a town admirably calculated by its position for the 
protection of the southern provinces against the Galla, on which 
account it has been selected for his residence by the Has. 
Below this province, to the south, lies a long strip of country, 
running in an east and west direction, called Wojjerat ; the inha- 
bitants of this district are celebrated for their conquest of the 
Doha, a tribe of negroes residing on their frontier. Wojjerat is 
a wild country, abounding with elephants, lions, rhinoceroses, 
and every species of game.f It is said that in this province the 
* Chelicut may be considered only as a country residence attached to ^nt&,lo. 
t This province is famous for its white honey, which is brought in great quantities to 
the market of Antalo. The mode of domesticating the bees which is practised by the 
natives is as follows. Having found a wild htve, they hang near it a wooden box, called 
muggil, rubbed over with old honey, the only access to which is through a small hole in 
one of the sides. The bees, allured by this stratagem, collect in great numbers in the 
box, which when the owner perceives, he goes at night, closes up the box, and carries it 
home to his own habitation. Here they soon become attached, and form their cells in 
square compartments prepared for them in the walls, which in this part of the country 
Itre generally constructed of mud.
