1891.] Climatic Condition of South-Eastern Africa, &c. 15 
acclimatisation is that of the Makololo, who lived at one time in what 
is now the Harrismith district of the Free State, and which may with 
fitness be called the roof of South Africa and remarkable for its 
salubrious climate ; to-day they thrive in the deadly fever swamps of 
the Zambesi basin, where it is impossible forany white man to live. 
This question of reserving the large tracts of comparatively unhealthy 
but exceedingly fertile country north of the Limpopo for our Cape 
and Natal natives is one which ere long will be forced upon us 
Colonists. ‘he removal will not take place to-day, but it is well to 
think of such a question in good time. The fact that the country 
from the Great Fish River in this colony extending along the coast to 
Tongaland is in every respect similar to the best part of the Australian 
continent may give a deal of food for reflection, all that is required is 
to know what to do with the ever-increasing population of natives.
