Other explorers working in Africa include the German naturalist Karl Mauch, south of the Zambezi River; Richard Brenner and Theodor Gottlob Kinzelbach on the Somali coast; Brenner in the Somali interior, reporting on the Somali and the Galla (the latter appear to be of "the African white race," members of which are said to inhabit the entire equatorial zone from west to east); Le Saint, from Khartoum southwest to Gabon by way of the source of the Nile; and Gerhard and Rohlfs in the Sahara and the Sudan. The British armed campaign into Abyssinia has provided useful information.
