Part of the south side has high sandy dunes, blown up by the south wind, which strikes it at right angles there.

One was blowing as we marched along the southern side eastwards, and was very tiresome.

We reached Panthunda's village by a brook called Lilole.

Another we crossed before coming to it is named Libesa: these brooks form the favourite spawning grounds of the sanjika and mpasa, two of the best fishes of the Lake.

The sanjika is very like our herring in shape and taste and size; the mpasa larger every way: both live on green herbage formed at the bottom of the Lake and rivers.
_7th September, 1866._--Chirumba's village being on the south side of a long lagoon, we preferred sleeping on the mainland, though they offered their cranky canoes to ferry us over.
