. Discovery of lakes Rudolf and Stefanie; a narrative of Count Samuel Teleki's exploring & hunting expedition in eastern equatorial Africa in 1887 & 1888. THE EANDILE AND B OR AN A 185 they were later driven eastwards into Samburu, and there are Eandile settlements east of the lands jointly occupied by them and the Burkeneji. Formerly both tribes regularly visited the shores of Lake Eudolf, but they have given up doing so on account of the repeated attacks of the Turkana. The Burkeneji own cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys, and a few camels. The Eandile breed more camels than any other animals, and in eastern Samburu, where this tribe is most numerous, as well as on Mount Marsabit, there are also a great many horses. The few Eandile we met with in Eeshiat differed very much from the Burkeneji. Their complexions were lighter and of a more pellucid yellowish tint, whilst their features were less of the negro type, the nose less squat and broad, the hair less frizzly. They resembled the gypsies in many re- spects. They use their horses to ride on and their camels as pack-animals. Their only weapons are spears and bows and arrows. In a temporarily deserted kraal we found perfectly watertight spoons and milk-bowls made of closely plaited string. The Eandile practise trade, exchanging stuffs made of sheep's wool for ivory. Their lan- guage contains a good many Somal words. North of Samburu live the Borana, their districts stretching from the east of the Basso Ebor far away to the north-east. These Borana appear to be a numerous and powerful people, owning cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and horses. Their weapons con- sist of two spears with very broad blades, and they protect. 1.
