I left England early in 1904 as Naturalist to the 

 Geodetic Survey of North-Eastern Rhodesia. For this I 

 am indebted to the great generosity of Mrs. Stoehr and 

 her son, Dr. F. Stoehr, medical officer to the Expedition, 

 and also to the British South Africa Company, whose 

 guest I had the honour of being. I also received con- 

 siderable assistance and encouragement from the Com- 

 mittee of the Manchester Museum. Finally, I must express 

 my unbounded gratitude to Mr. Robert Codrington, the 

 administrator, and the other officials of the Company, 

 who, wherever I went, greeted me with the greatest 

 hospitality and gave me every possible assistance. 



Landing at Chinde, one of the mouths of the Zambesi, 

 a three weeks' journey, via Tete, brought me to Fort 

 Jameson, the seat of the Administration. After some 

 little delay, owing to difficulties of transport, I travelled 

 down to Feira, at the junction of the Zambesi and 

 Loangwa rivers. Here I met with some of the other 

 members of the survey. Here also I was able to start 

 serious collecting, having now assembled together my 

 apparatus, much of which had not accompanied me from 

 Fort Jameson, but had come direct from Tete.
