QUA-QUA RIVER. 
Banem, about fifty miles from the furthest point we 
reached, or ninety miles from the sea; but beyond 
these rocks the river “goes on” for many days> 
according to the pilot Glasgow’s statement, though 
he could give no further information about it. 
The Oameroons River has two tributaries on the 
right bank; one the Yabitlng, which we explored a 
short way up, and another, about twenty-five miles 
above Wana Makembi’s Town. They are both said 
to have their source in, or to fall over, rocks about 
fifty feet high. There is also a small stream which 
falls into Ebonjeh Creek, said toi come from Duka- 
bakin, about four hours’ voyage up it. 
It had been supposed, that besides the so-called 
Oameroons, a large river, — the Malimba, fell into this 
estuary ; but all the natives agreed in saying, that it 
is but a divergent creek from the Qua-qua river, which 
comes from the eastward. Our pilot, Massa Glasgow, 
asserted that though the latter has more mangroves, it 
is of less magnitude than the Wuri or UuaUa. It is 
also obstructed by rocks, at about the same distance 
from the sea. He told us the king of all the Qua-qua 
country resides at a place called Longassi, about eighty 
miles up the river. Thus it would appear from all 
the accounts we received, that there is a range of hills 
extending from the Oameroons mountains to the east- 
ward ; or that there is a high table-land at about one 
hundred miles from the sea-coast, since the natives 
said of the four streams, that they all fall over rocks
