 and south-western parts of this district, as well as the northern part of 

 Gazaland, are veiy little known and practically unentered by white men. 



The southern part of the Province, including the luyambane and Lourenco 

 Marques districts, was at one time noted for the presence of tsetse. After the 

 rinderpest passed over South Africa, however, the fly began to disappear, and 

 we have been unable to locate a single tsetse-belt in this portion. In the 

 southern corner of the Lourenco Marques district, toward the boundaries of 

 Zululand and Swaziland, there is said to be tsetse. The reports are, however, 

 all vague and indefinite, so that there is some doubt as to their reliability. 



Lourenco Marques, 17th December, 1910.
