rear their children with remarkable zeal and interest, 

 and spurn the notion of doctors. One of our 

 illustrations shows an Ankole lady administering 

 an enema to her child. It consists of a hollow 

 reed inserted in the anus, through which water 

 or other liquid is injected from the mouth. The 

 Ankole men, too, are keen cattle raisers, and possess 

 fine herds, as shown in the picture illustrating a herd 

 of typical South-West Ankole cattle. They possess 

 enormous horns; and being exceedingly wild, the 

 beasts will charge on the slightest provocation. 

 South-West Ankole abounds in crater lakes, some 

 of them being of huge area. They form in the 

 dried-up necks of old craters.
