Fria, serra (“Cold Mountains”), on Pigafetta’s map, in 17.5 S.; the Monti Freddi (“cold mountains”) of the text, stated to be known to the Portuguese as Monti nivosi (“snowy mountains”). Modern maps show a Serra da neve in 14.0 S.; but as I am not aware that snow ever fell in these mountains, neve may be an ancient misprint for nevoas (mists). The Serra Fria may possibly be connected with the Cabo Frio, thus named because of the cold current which washes it.

Sims (Kiteke Vocabulary) knows of a tribe Bakutu towards the Kasai. We believe the Ybari of G. Mendes to refer to the country about the Kwangu, whither Portuguese traders actually did go for cloth.

Margarita stone, 15. Garcia Simões, the Jesuit, in 1575, says that “provisions are bought for cloth and margaridit.” Rev. Tho. Lewis suggests Ngameta, a special kind of beads. It is just possible that these “stones” may be perforated quartz-pebbles, worn as beads, such as were recently discovered by Mr. Hobley in Kavirondo, where they are highly valued. They are found after thunder-storms, and of unknown antiquity.

Mpangu (Panga), a lordship bestowed upon the bishop D. Henrique, in 1625 (Paiva Manso, 51), seems to be identical with Mpangu-lungu.
Mpangu-lungu, the Pango or Pangalungo of Cavazzi, S. 454, and D. Lopez, variously spelt Pangelungu or Pamzelungua in King Affonso’s letters (Paiva Manso, 29, 36, 41), is undoubtedly a district on the lower Kongo, bordering upon the country of the Musurongo. There are numerous villages called Mpangu, several of which are indicated upon our map, but the Mbanza of Mpangu, according to Lopez, was near the river Barbela, which is another name for the Kongo. See also Mpanzu alumbu, 115, 116.
Mpanzu-alumbu (Panzu or Pazoalumbu) a village or district on the lower Kongo, either in Mpangu-lungu or that district itself. King Affonso (Paiva Manso, 50) calls himself “Lord of the Conquest of Pazoallumbo,” and does not mention Pangalungu, which certainly was a district incorporated with Kongo in his day. Bastian (Exped. an der Loangoküste, i, 289), mentions a village Mpanzo, and another Mpanzo mfinda (“Mpanzo in the Wood”) as being near Sonyo. Mpangu and Mpanzu may possibly be interchangeable, just as Lopez gives the name of Mpango to the fourth king of Kongo, whom others call Mpanzu, 112, 113

Ouuando, seems to be a region to the N. of Encoge and the river Loje. Rebello de Aragão, p. 20, calls it Oombo (Wumbo) and says the copper mines of Mpemba are situated within it. J. C. Carneiro (An. do cons. ultr, ii, 1861, p. 172) says that the proper name is Uhamba (pronounced Wamba) or Ubamba. Dapper calls it Oando (pronounced Wando). Rev. Thos. Lewis tells me that the natives pronounce d, b, and v quite indistinctly, and suggests Wembo. He rejects Ubamba as a synonym. From all this we may accept Wembo, Wandu, or Wanbo as synonymous.

Quimbebe of D. Lopez, I believe ought to have been spelt Quimbēbe (pron. Kimbembe), and to be identical with Cavazzi’s wide district of Bembe (Mbembe). Its king, Matama, may have been the Matima (Mathemo) near whose Kilombo Queen Nzinga was defeated, p. 166. The Beshimba, or Basimba (Nogueira, A raça negra, 1881, p. 98) have nothing to do with this Kimbembe, but may have given origin to the Cimbebasia of the missionaries. See Bembe.

Vumba (Va-umba, “at or near Umba,”) a river that runs to the Zaire (Lopez), called Vamba (Cavazzi) = the Hamba (C. and I). Mechow (Abh. G. F. E., 1882, p. 486) mentions a large river Humba to the E. of the Kwangu; a river Wamba joins the lower Kwangu; another Vamba joins the lower Zaire, and leads up to Porto Rico. (Vasconcellos, Bol., 1882, 734); and there is a river Umba or Vumba in E. Africa. (Vumba = to make pots, in Kongo). Vamba is perhaps another name for the Kwangu.
Vunda, district of Kongo (Paiva Manso, 104); but Vunda means “to rest,” and there are many of these mid day halting-places of the old slave gangs, the villages where they passed the night being called Vemadia, i.e., Ave Maria (Tho. Lewis). A village Vunda, on the Kongo, 5.2 S., 13.7 E.
