In other districts graves show that sepulture is customary, but here no grave appears: some admit the existence of the practice here; others deny it.

In the Metamba country adjacent to the Lualaba, a quarrel with a wife often ends in the husband killing her and eating her heart, mixed up in a huge mess of goat's flesh: this has the charm character.

Fingers are taken as charms in other parts, but in Bambarre alone is the depraved taste the motive for cannibalism.
_Bambarre, 18th August, 1870._--I learn from Josut and Moenepembe, who have been to Katanga and beyond, that there is a Lake N.N.W.of the copper mines, and twelve days distant; it is called Chibungo, and is said to be large.

Seven days west of Katanga flows another Lualaba, the dividing line between Rua and Lunda or Londa; it is very large, and as the Lufira flows into Chibungo, it is probable that the Lualaba West and the Lufira form the Lake.

Lualaba West and Lufira rise by fountains south of Katanga, three or four days off.
