A small tribe of the Bazizulu, from the south, under Dadanga, have recently settled here and built a village.

Some of their houses are square, and they seem to be on friendly terms with the Bakoa, who own the country.

They, like the other natives, cultivate cotton, but of a different species from any we have yet seen in Africa, the staple being very long, and the boll larger than what is usually met with; the seeds cohere as in the Pernambuco kind.

They brought the seed with them from their own country, the distant mountains of which in the south, still inhabited by their fellow-countrymen, who possess much cattle and use shields, can be seen from this high ground.

These people profess to be children of the great paramount chief, Kwanyakarombe, who is said to be lord of all the Bazizulu.
