numerous tribe, and who dwell in a greater num- 
ber of villages. North from these are the Chojaa 
and Muchurutzi, the latter of whom are reckoned 
the bravest of all these tribes. Three days west 
from them are the Wanketsi, described by Lich- 
tenstein as the weakest of the Boshuanas. Be- 
tween them and the Maatjapings are two tribes of 
Muruhlongs (Barroloos of Trutter), one of whom, 
under Makkrakka, was formerly united with Lee- 
takoo, but has since separated. It numbers ten 
thousand fighting men. The Matsaroqua, a friend- 
ly people, lie to the west. The most numerous of 
all, situated in the remotest north-east, are the 
Macquini. They are remarkable for their skill in 
working metals ; and from them the arms> nee- 
dles, rings, and other metallic instruments and 
ornaments used by the Kaffres and Maatjapings, 
are derived, after passing through four or five 
hands. They are reported to have in their coun- 
try a large mountain, one side of which is com- 
posed of copper, and the other of iron. From 
Mr Salt's report, afterwards to be noticed, there 
would appear to be a mistake in ranking this peo-

The Boshuanas are proved, both by their lan- 
guage and appearance, to be of the same original 
stock with the Kaffres. They are less vigorous 
and athletic, and do not, in the male sex, present 
such fine and handsome forms j but, in return,
