./ MOKABA. APONO VILLAGE. Chap. XIH. CURIOSITY OF THE MOKABA PEOPLE. 251 country, rising in three terrace-like ridges one behindthe other. On the other hand, looking towards thewest, I could see the fine hilly range beyond Otando,stretching in a semi-circle to the Ashira Kamba ter-ritory, and joining, on the north, the range whichtrends eastward from that point towards the Ashangomountains.
