[131]. This is the paralysis from which I suffered in the African interior.

[132]. Probably a corruption of the Jezirat (el Khazra), the Green Island of the Arabs.

[134]. The Ozi river, south of Patta.

[135]. The Panga-ni river, which the Arabs would pronounce Fanga-ni.

[136]. The Rufigi, Lufigi, or Lufiji.

[137]. A popular error. The nearest river south of Kilwa would be the Lindi, a little known stream in S. lat. 10°.

[138]. This is the Nile of Magadoxo, which he has ignored.

[139]. Webbe in Somali means any stream.

[140]. The well-known settlement Berberah. The intelligent Somali evidently believed that the Hawash river and the Nile of Magadoxo are of the same origin.
