Chikosi, at whose village we passed a night, near Kalongosi, and Chiputa are both dead. The Mofwé fills during the greater rains, and spreads over a large district; elephants then wander in its marshes, and are killed easily by people in canoes: this happens every year, and Mohamad Bogharib waits now for this ivory. 7th to 21st February, 1868.
