Kabrega ruled in tlie soutli-west, Anifina in the north near the 
Murchison Falls, and Rionga in the east, having his head-quarters at 
Kodj on the Nile. They were all descended from Issanca, and the 
following table will show their pedigree.

Soon after I left the country, Rionga and Amfina were overthrown, 
and now Kabrega is the nominal ruler over the whole country. It 
is needless to repeat the history of the various events which took

some man and the lady fell in love with him, and did not hesitate 
for his sake to poison her husband. On his marriage with her he 
ascended the throne, and had two sons, to whom on his deathbed he 
gave as separate heritages the kingdoms of Uganda and Unyoro. 
And thus Kabrega asserted, on the strength of tradition, his Oalla 
origin. That emigrations of this people had passed through the 
land of Unyoro is proved incontestably by the use (still common) of 
words of the Galla language, especially in the articles of food.”

hereditary chiefs. The country is divided into large districts, ruled 
by great chiefs called Mkungus, and they possess supreme power, 
having under them a number of Mtongali who rule over smaller
