Less Known Ruins in Rhodesia. 491 



Apart from the interest which the investigation of these ruins 

 will afford to the student of tne histon- of this continent, there is a 

 wide field for the speculations of the Astronomer, the Anthropolo- 

 gist, and the Antiquarian. 



The Zimbabwe ruins are now being carefully explored by Mr. 

 R. N. Hall, under the auspices of the British South Africa Com- 

 pany, and the thanks of all those who axe interested in the early 

 history of South Africa are due to the Company for the liberality 

 thus displayed. 



It is possible that some articles or indications may be unearthed 

 which will assist those who have studied these questions to arrive at 

 some conclusion as to the age of these ruins, but it is to be hoped 

 that a tight rein will be kept on the imagination. 



In order tO' give a better idea of the form of these ruins the 

 writer has much pleasure in presenting the Association with plans 

 of the Khami, Dhlo-Dhlo-. and Regina ruins (the latter surveyed by 

 Mr. Jas. Anderson), with various photographs shewing different 

 notable features in the walls, and with a sheet shewing different 

 types of broken pottery found in refuse heaps. 



The writer, in conclusion, desires to acknowledge his indebted- 

 ness to the authorities to whom reference has been made.
