are other localities of the same name.
+Malemba+ (Lemba), a kingdom, 11.4 S., 17.0 E., 166
+Malomba+ (D. Lopez), seems to be a misprint for Malumba.
+Malombe+, a “great lord” in Kisama, 9.8 S., 14.2 E., 37
+Mamboma+, an official in Luangu, 59 _n._
+Mambumba+ (D. Lopez), between river Loje and Onzo, the same as Mani
Mbumbi.
+Manuel+, King of Portugal, 110, 111, 113, 133, 137, 139
+Manuel+, King of Kongo, 137, 181
+Manuel+, brother of Affonso I, of Kongo, 111, 113
+Mangroves+, 76
+Manso+, Paiva, quoted, xviii, 27, 72, 102, 108, 110, 111, 119, 121,

+Margarita+ stone, 15. Garcia Simões, the Jesuit, in 1575, says that
“provisions are bought for cloth and margaridit.” Rev. Tho. Lewis
suggests _Ngameta_, a special kind of beads. It is just possible
that these “stones” may be perforated quartz-pebbles, worn as
beads, such as were recently discovered by Mr. Hobley in Kavirondo,
where they are highly valued. They are found after thunder-storms,
and of unknown antiquity.

+Masongo+, a “kingdom,” the country of the Songo, 11.0 S., 13.0 E.
+Masinga+, a “kingdom;” perhaps Majinga (_q.v._), hardly to be
identified with the Chinge, beyond the Kwangu.
+Matama+, King of Quimbebe (D. Lopez). Perhaps identical with Matimu.
