Locality.—River Pocomosi (Maro).
Conterminous with the southernmost section of the Gallas.
WANIKA.
Locality.—North and west of Mombaz.
The Mahometanism of the Wanikas, if it exist at all, is of the most imperfect kind. They practise circumcision, it is true; but this is a general African, quite as much as a particular Semitic, rite—"They bury their dead, placing the head to the east; and it is customary, after waiting ten days, to kill a bullock and make a feast, pouring the blood upon the grave." The Wanika man seen by Pickering, "bore the marks of a national designation; consisting of a single notch, filed between the two upper front teeth, with numerous small scars on the breast."
WAKAMBA.
Synonym.—Merremengo.
Locality.—Mixed with, and conterminous with the Wanika.
