AFRICA. 
Among all the weftern tribes, therefore, there 
are none who lead fo wandering a life as the 
Koraquas : the confequence of which is, that, 
asthey often change their abode, and acquire new 
neighbours, thtj miift, in fome meafure, adopt 
the cuftoms of the nations near which they fix 
their lefideiice. Some tri^^s of them greafe 
themfelves like the Hottentots ; while others 
tattoo their face, breaft, and arms, after the 
manner of the CafFrea. It is, however, to be 
remarked, that the fame colour is not em- 
ployed by all the Koraquas* Fach has his own, 
according as caprice may direft him in his 
choice, and it generally varies every day ; 
which r^nd^rs, as one may fay, the inhabit- 
ants of the fame horde Grangers to each other, 
and gives them a motley appearance, as if they 
were drefled for a mafquerade. 
After th€ accident of my wound in the horde 
of Klaas Bafter, by a prickly geranium, I al- 
ways took care, when I encamped in a new 
fpot, to caufe all thofe I could find around m.e 
to be torn up. Among thofe which we had 
occafion to deftroy, near Haripa's kraal, I 
jfound a moft fuperb one, with three long 
prickles, a figure of which ftiall be given.,
