The Second Loriax Swamp 



The line of trees in the distance denotes the actual river-bed; they are ihornless acacia trees 

 called " Waja " by the natives, and they give their name to the surrounding district (Melka Waja). 

 The photograph was taken from a tree, and shows the tall reeds and grass that render it almost 

 impossible to penetrate into the swamp. 



The Uaso Nyiro, above Marti Plateau 



Notice the groves of dom palms on both banks. They are a conspicuous feature of the country 

 between Archer's Post and Marti.
