Note 350 — VI

[The Bornu cattle are periodically decimated by a disease called ‘fufu’, generally described as ‘lung-sickness’, i.e. pleuropneumonia (‘fufu’ means ‘a lung’ in Kanuri). Tilho, Doc. sc. i. 32, mentions an epizootic liver disease, called in Budduma ‘banami’, as attacking Budduma cattle, and says that it is caused by the bad quality of stagnant water. There is a disease called ‘gisu’ in Kanuri which attacks sheep and goats, and consists of a tumour in the side.]
