northern frontier of Abyssinia, particularly on the lower 
part of the Mareb and the'Tacazze. The track which they 
occupy consists of a belt varying in breadth, though averag¬ 
ing about 40 miles. Numberless streams, descending from 
the high country, water and inundate it, producing a rank 
excess of vegetation, which unfits it for the production of 
any useful vegetable. It is entirely covered with deep and

for the pole, and the large top overshadowing it, so as to 
make a very picturesque appearance. During this season,
