is going to. 



For a temperate climate, woollen tweed, or 

 angolas are, perhaps, the best general wear ; but 

 for the tropics, I prefer coloured flannel, as being 

 more comfortable and easier to wash. 



For a sportsman, well dressed deer-skin is the 

 best material ; when that is not procurable, mole- 

 skin, velveteen, corderoy, fustian, canvas, duck, 

 or karkee (coloured cotton), may be used. 



A traveller ought to study comfort more than 

 elegance, in the cut of his clothes, and little 

 attention should be paid to change of fashion. 



Sanguinetti, of Regent Street, in former days, 

 used to be a famous tailor of "clothes for the 

 bush," but I think he has gone the way of all 

 flesh, as his establishment has vanished, and his 

 mantle appears to have descended upon Bird, of 

 13, Waterloo Place, a practical man, who knows 

 how to cut out " hunting togs," so as to be com- 

 fortable in any position, without being baggy,
