Mr. Carnochan worked in the Tabora district, where he Hved 

 among the Manumwezi tribe, experts in snake catching, and his 

 division of the expedition succeeded in forming a considerable col- 

 lection of snakes, several interesting mammals, including a female 

 eland, and a rare caracal. 



The party had been joined on the boat by a Mr. Lyman Hine, of 

 New York, an American sportsman, and he and Dr. Mann, accom-

miles to the north, where they made safari to Lake Manyara. 

 Mr. Hine was able to stay in the field only a month when he re- 

 turned, business calling him back to America. But Mr. George 

 Runton, a professional hunter and guide, stayed with the expedition 

 during its entire stay in Tanganyika and proved a most valuable addi- 

 tion to the party. 



The Governor's license proved important at Umbugwe, for it 

 enabled us to acquire 90 porters, men of the Wamboro and Wambugo 

 tribes. The latter have the reputation of being swift runners, which 

 they bear out from time to time by running down animals. The 

 first catch on the lake was a water mongoose, which was run down 

 on the lake shore and boxed.
