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
