PRKFACE 11 



To my owii countrymen who are bearing their 

 share of the burden t)f Mozambique, no mean 

 share be it said, I am also under many obligations 

 which to acknowledge in full would occupy many 

 pages. But though brevity is imposed on me I 

 cannot refrain from mentioning Mr. Sam Goldsbury 

 of Umbeluzi, Mr. F. A. Zurcher, late Government 

 AgroBtologist, Quelimane, Mr. \V. H. Charter and 

 Mr. Nicol of the Zambezia Company, Mr. N. C. T. 

 Harper of Chinavane, and Mr. Pecastaing of 

 Mutamba, Inhambane, whom 1 will include in 

 this category. I have also to thank Mr. James 

 Munro, who gave me pennission to include in 

 this work the translation of the land law for the 

 Province of Mozambi(}ue. 



Mr. Frank Adams, M.A., late Sub- Warden of 

 Glenalmond, places me again in his debt for 

 having kindly read through the manuscripts.
