INDEX 
Note. —All African names of countries, languages, or peoples, which are not found under their 
initial letter in this Index, should be looked for under the initial of the root-word. Thus for 
Ci-Yao see Yao, Ci-, or Yao language ; for Wunyamwezi see Nyamwezi, W11-; Anyanja, Nyanja, A-. 
In all cases, however, where the reader might be supposed not to be acquainted with the root-word, 
the commonest compounds are also given—Awemba, as well as Emba, Aw-. 
The lists of scientific names given in the Appendices are not always referred to in the Index.
