S e c t io n IV.— Of the Hazorta and Shiho.
To tlie northward of the Danhkil as far as the harbour of
Massowah, the low countries between the1 coast of the Arabian
Gulf and the feet' of the AbySsiniamnaountains are inhabited
by tribes of the Hazorta, and these mountaineers further northward
than Massowah and Arkeeho are succeeded* by tribes
of the Shiho, who speak the same language.us the Hazorta
and resemble thorn in {person and manners.; TheUcbidf tribes
of the Hazorta are termed Assar-Karre and Assai-LeSsan, which-
have Some relation to the Salt Plain,,,Assa being the Gheez
word for salt. 'The: general name of the Shiho, is Torua • the
particular names of their tribes are Edo, Gumeddo-, Beyiddo,
and Assala-iddo.; * These tribe® are> pastoral• wanderiarsy, * and
carry merchandize across their, country from the? cbaM 'of
Abyssinia. They have numerous flocks o£gd&fes : the encampments
of the Shiho, according to. Salt, .consist of conical -huts
resembling the kraals of the Kaffirs in South Africa, oi
The Hazorta are termed Arabs by travellers, but they; are
a different people from the Arabs, and their language Contains
but few Arabic words, if we may judgei from the vocabulary
collected by Salk On the other hand it has many
words common to it and the idiom of the Danakil. Weadst
nqt informed that the Hazorta differ; in .physical characters
from the Danakil and other neighbouring nations. Mr. Salt
says that in one of the Shiho hordes he sawi- some, girfeuwith
finely-proportioned limbs and beautiful features, and of much
lighter colour than the general complexion of the race. In .his
first journeys ; to Abyssinia, Mr. Salt saw two individuals of
the Hazorta race who were both very black and thinly: clad;#
