[151]. The tribes of the Chaga Highland.
[152]. The hill-men of Usumbara.
[153]. Elanitic.
[154]. Possibly copal.
[155]. Nakhudas, native skippers.
[156]. Azan, Azania, properly Barr el Khazain, the Land of Tanks, which begins at Ra’as Hafun (N. lat. 10° 26′ 8″) and ends at Ra’as el Khayl (N. Lat. 7° 46′ 30″), about 160 miles in length.
[157]. The inhabitants hide themselves from strangers. In the interior they are tolerably numerous. Being Somal, they will not eat fish or fowl, as I have explained in my First Footsteps in East Africa.
[158]. It is the ‘Nile of Makdishu,’ supposed to issue from the lake Kaura. Of late years it has been called Webbe (River) Gamana or Webbe Giredi, and by Lieut. Christopher, the ‘Haines River.’ According to others, it rises about N. lat. 9° to 10° at a place called Denok, whence also one of its multitudinous names.
[159]. Ganana in Somaliland: it cannot be a large city. Here we may observe the Govind (Gulb-wen), alias the Juba River, upon whose right bank Ganana lies, is confounded with the ‘Nile of Magadoxo,’ and the eastern branch of the latter, called Webbe Gamana, has added to the confusion.
[160]. This may be the case if for Nile we read ‘Blue River.’ The Webbe Gamana, alias Nile of Makdishu, may, like the Webbe Ganana or Juba, rise in the S. Eastern counter-slope of the Abyssinian Highlands, which discharge to the N. West the Bahr el Azrak.
