-* A Race of Warlike Shepherds : the Masai 



which characterises the Masai, from missionaries whose 

 hospitahty I have en)oyed. atul from others. An intimate 

 friend of mine once declared to me with feelinty that, if 

 not himself, he would choose to be a Masai ( )1 Morani 

 of tiie old stamp. 



Merker's book on the Masai must constitute one of 

 the most thorough arid complete studies of an East 



MASAI WOMEN 



African race yet published. By their conscientious and' 

 able investigations into our colonial affairs, men like Count 

 Gotzen, Huhlmann, Merker, Richard Kandt, Fulleborn, 

 Paul Reichard, Gassarge, and Knenier will be tound 

 probably to have been ot infinitely greater service than 

 many of those who have striven after perfection through 

 the medium of complex and often impracticable by-laws- 

 and regulations.
