This is the district of Motoshi.
Wherever buffaloes are to be caught, falling traps are suspended over the path in the trees near the water.
_24th October, 1872._--There are many rounded bays in mountainous Fipa.
We rested two hours in a deep shady dell, and then came along a very slippery mountain-side to a village in a stockade.

It is very hot to-day, and the first thunderstorm away in the east.

The name of this village is Linde.
_25th October, 1872._--The coast runs south-south-east to a cape.

We went up south-east, then over a high steep hill to turn to south again, then down into a valley of Tanganyika, over another stony side, and down to a dell with a village in it.

The west coast is very plain to-day; rain must have fallen there.
_26th October, 1872._--Over hills and mountains again, past two deep bays, and on to a large bay with a prominent islet on the south side of it, called Kitanda, from the chiefs name.
