' The experience of three expeditions has shown me that reliance cannot be placed on rolled films. 

 After having used apparatus iS X 24 centim., 13 X 18, gx 12, I ended by only employing one of 

 6^ X 9, the results from which can in most cases be enlarged, 



- I strongly recommend the use of kola as an excellent sustainer and restorative. After tr)ing it 

 our porters had great faith in it. Boric acid is also most valuable ; wounds and sore eyes being fre- 

 quent, it was useful among the natives. 



^ Among the presents the most popular were those which had anything to do with tobacco ; one 

 could hardly take too many pipes and flints. Next to them came knives, scissors, spyglasses, needles, 

 looking-glasses, and musical boxes. The scents, panoramas, microscopes, jeweller)' and trinkets, and 

 things in general which had not a direct practical use, were less successful. In the Mekong valley and 

 Ba)ul a good reception was given to linen and Chinese yam, especially when in dark blue.
