The quarters, beginning from Changáni, the most western, are, the Baghani, which contains the English Consulate; the Mnazi-Moya to the south, with a grave-yard, and a bazar where milk and grain are sold; the Fuga adjoining it, the Zambarani, the Kajifichemi, the Kunazemi, and the Námbo to the south-east; the Gurayzani, containing the fort; and the Furdani with the Custom House; the Kipondah, where the French Consulate is; the Ziwani (Mitha-pani of the Hindus) further to the south; the Suk Muhogo, where manure and fish are sold; the Melindi, or Melindini, occupied by Hindus, and boasting a bazar; and lastly the Mnawi, the Kokoni, and the Fungu extend to the easternmost quarter, the Malagash, where the Lagoon, an inlet of the sea, bounds the city. I did not hear any of the three names mentioned in the text; they are probably now obsolete. Footnote 22: The Iberian name (in Arabic الستح, El Sat’h) of the flat roof-terrace, borrowed from the dry lands of Western Asia. Footnote 23: Chap. 7. Captain Hamilton’s ‘New Account of the East Indies.’ Footnote 24: The Arabs here call the shark ‘jarjúr,’ the Wasawahíli p’hápá. I do not know why Captain Guillain (ii. 391) says, ‘le requin, nommé par les Arabs _lebah_—‘Lebah is the Somali name for a lion. Footnote 25: Uhiáo is the Iáo of Mr Cooley, who calls the people M’yau (Mhiáo) and Miyáo (Wahiáo). They are the ‘Monjou’ of Salt, and the Mujao of the Portuguese. M. Macqueen (On the Geography of Central Africa) says, ‘The inhabitants on the west side of the Lake are called Yoah, and are Mohammedans.’ They are still pagans. Capt. Guillain (1, 390) remarks, ‘Les historiens Portuguais nous paraissent avoir donné au pays le nom que les indigènes donnent à ses habitants. Moudjâou, ou plutôt Moniâo et, par contraction, M’iâo signifie un homme du pays de Iáo.’ Uhiáo would be the country; Mhiáo and Wahiáo (singular and plural), its people. CHAPTER V. GEOGRAPHICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL. ‘To my surprise, the information concerning Zanzibar and the N. E. coast of Africa ... scarcely contains meagre phrases destitute of precision.’— (Col. Sykes’ Journal, R. G. S., vol. xxiii. 1853.) He forgets that entering from the coast is like jumping from the street into the window.—(R. F. B.) SECTION 1.
