Besides those we have already crossed, there is the Chihombo at Cabango; and forty-two miles beyond this, eastward, runs the Kasai itself; fourteen miles beyond that, the Kaunguesi; then, forty-two miles farther east, flows the Lolua; besides numbers of little streams, all of which contribute to swell the Kasai.
About thirty-four miles east of the Lolua, or a hundred and thirty-two miles E.N.E.of Cabango, stands the town of Matiamvo, the paramount chief of all the Balonda.

The town of Mai is pointed out as to the N.N.W.of Cabango, and thirty-two days or two hundred and twenty-four miles distant, or about lat.

S.5d 45'.

The chief town of Luba, another independent chief, is eight days farther in the same direction, or lat.
S.4d 50'.

Judging from the appearance of the people who had come for the purposes of trade from Mai, those in the north are in quite as uncivilized a condition as the Balonda.
