passing anything that happened in his father’s time. Nor does he appear to possess those good characteristics which certainly caused his father to deserve a certain amount of respect. A number of Christians, Protestants and Catholics, have been tortured and burnt at the stake by his orders, and Bishop Hannington was murdered by his command at Lubwa, on the borders of Uganda.—R. W. F.

Kamrast.—He was the first king of Unydéro with whom Europeans came into contact; he was visited by Speke and Grant on the oth of September 1862, at his residence (1° 37’ 43” N. lat.), which was situated upon a low tongue of land lying between the Nile and Khor Kafu. His character was very mild, and he treated Speke and Grant well. He died in 1870. After a period of anarchy, in which one of his sons, Kabkamiro, was killed, he was succeeded by Kabréga, the present king of Unyéro.— RatzeEt.

The Wanyéro are of opinion that they are descended from a more noble race than the Waganda.—RATZEL.

The people are, however, hospitable, and endeavour to make one as comfortable as circumstances will permit. Foreigners are not permitted to enter Uganda without permission from the king; they are compelled to halt at the first village until it is granted. One or two of the king’s pages, bearing a drum and flag as marks of authority, are usually sent with a requisite number of porters to transport the stranger and his goods to the capital ; but it is not etiquette for this to be done rapidly, and circuitous routes are always chosen, the halts made being frequent and tantalising. The traveller is also constantly annoyed by the constant disputes
