MASAI LAND. 
551 
this tract we may say that it is triangular in general 
shape, the apex towards the north reaching to within 
thirty miles of the equator, and extending beyond to 
Baringo as a species of trough or deep, irregular cutting. 
The Masai are only to be found at all seasons about 
such favourable situations as the base of Kilimanjaro, 
Mount Meru, Ndapduk, Gelei, Kisongo, to the west 
of Meru, Donyo Engai, and along the edge of the 
plain at the bases of the bordering highlands Mau and 
Kapte. 
The country is sufficiently characterized when the fact 
and the Guaso N’Ebor circle round in the form of an 
amphitheatre, to meet the metamorpliic masses of 
Ndapduk and Donyo Erok. Further to the west and 
north are the volcanic masses of Donyo Engai, Donyo 
la Nyuki, and Donyo Logonot, with the hills of Nguru- 
ina-ni. 
Except in the immediate vicinity of the higher moun- 
tains, such as Mount Meru and Donyo Engai, the 
country is a large extent uninhabited. To summarize 
MASAI WARRIORS.
