• Ouuando, seems to be a region to the N. of Encoge and the river Loje. Rebello de Aragão, p. 20, calls it Oombo (Wumbo) and says the copper mines of Mpemba are situated within it. J. C. Carneiro (An. do cons. ultr, ii, 1861, p. 172) says that the proper name is Uhamba (pronounced Wamba) or Ubamba. Dapper calls it Oando (pronounced Wando). Rev. Thos. Lewis tells me that the natives pronounce d, b, and v quite indistinctly, and suggests Wembo. He rejects Ubamba as a synonym. From all this we may accept Wembo, Wandu, or Wanbo as synonymous.
