APPENDIX 321 
usual underclothing worn in England is all that is 
required if the shooting is to be done in the highlands. A 
good warm overcoat will be much appreciated up-country 
in the cool of the evenings, and a light mackintosh for wet 
weather ought also to be included. For use in rocky or 
thorny country, a pair of knee and elbow pads will be 
found invaluable, and those who feel the sun should also 
provide themselves with a spine-protector. The latter is a 
most useful article of kit, for although the air may be pretty 
cool, the sun strikes down very fiercely towards midday. 
A well-filled medicine chest should of course not be 
forgotten. 
A good field glass, a hunting and skinning knife or two, 
and a Kodak with about 200 films should also be carried. 
With regard to the last item, I should strongly advise all 
who intend to take photographs on their trip to pay a visit 
to Mr. W. D. Young on arriving at Nairobi. He is an 
enthusiastic photographer, and will gladly give advice to 
all as to light and time of exposure ; and as these are the 
two points which require most attention, hints from some 
one of experience in the country are most useful. I 
myself am much indebted to Mr. Young’s kindly advice, 
and I am sure I should not have achieved much success in 
my pictures without it. I made it a practice on my last 
visit to the country to send him the exposed films for 
development whenever I reached a postal station, and I 
should recommend others to do the same, as films 
deteriorate rapidly on the voyage home; indeed I had 
nearly four hundred spoiled in this way, taken when I was 
in the country in 1898-99. 
As regards camp equipment, all that need be taken out 
from England are a small double-fly tent, three Jaeger 
blankets, a collapsible bath, a Wolseley valise, and a good 
filter ; and even these can be obtained just as good locally. 
Chop boxes (food) and other necessary camp gear should be
