Anzigui, Anzigi, or Anziki, whose king, Makoko, 
the ruler of thirteen kingdoms, was placed by Dap¬ 
per north-west of Monemugi (Unyamwezi), and 
whom Pigafetta (p. 79) located close to the Congo, 
and near his northern Lake. “It is true that there 
are two lakes, not, however, lying east and west 
(Ptolemy’s system), but north and south of each 
other, and about 400 miles asunder. The first is in 
south latitude 12 0 . The Nile, issuing from it, does 
not, according to Odoardo (Duarte Lopez), sink in 
the earth nor conceal itself, but, after flowing north¬ 
wards, it enters the second lake, which is 220 miles 
in extent, and is called by the natives a sea.” If 
the Tanganyika shall be found to connect with the 
Luta Nzige or Mwutan Lake, this passage will be 
found wonderfully truthful. The Tanganyika’s 
southern versant is now placed in south latitude 
8° 46' 54", or in round numbers 9 0 , and the other 
figures are nearly as correct. James Barbot causes 
these Anzikos to wander “ almost through all 
Africa,” from Nubia to the Congo, like negro 
Bedawin or Scythians ; the common food was 
man’s flesh fattened for the market and eaten by 
the relatives, even of those who died diseased. 
Their “capital,” Monsol, was built by D’Anville, 
close to the equator in the very centre of Africa (east 
longitude Greenwich, 26° 20') hard by Douville’s 
“Yanvo;” and the “Opener of Inner Africa in 
1852” (pp. 3, 4, 69), with equal correctness, caused
