which characterises the Masai, from missionaries whose 

 hospitality I have enjoyed, and from others. An intimate 

 friend of mine once declared to me with feeling that, if

African race yet published. I>\ then' conscientious and 

 able investigations into our colonial affairs, men like ( mint 

 dot/en, lluhlmann, Merker. Richard kandt, 1'tillehorn, 

 Paul Reichard, (iassarge, and Kr.rmer will be found 

 probably to have been of infinitely jjreater service than 

 many of" those who have striven after perfection through 

 the medium of complex and often impracticable by-laws 

 and regulations.
