APPENDIX A 
I WISH to thank Sir Edward Grey and Lord Crewe for the numerous 
courtesies extended to me by the British officials throughout the British 
possessions in Africa ; and M. Renkin for the equal courtesy shown me 
by the Belgian officials in the Lado. 
The scientific part of the expedition could not have been undertaken 
save for the generous assistance of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, Mr. Oscar 
Straus, Mr. Leigh Hunt, and certain others, to all of whom lovers of nat¬ 
ural history are therefore deeply indebted. 
I owe more than I can express to the thoughtful and unwearied con¬ 
sideration of Mr. F. C. Selous and Mr. E. N. Buxton, through whom my 
excellent outfit was obtained. 
Mr. R. J. Cuninghame, assisted in East Africa by Mr. Leslie J. Tarl- 
ton, managed the expedition in the field; and no two better men for our 
purposes could have been found anywhere. I doubt if Mr. Cuninghame’s 
equal in handling such an expedition as ours exists; I know no one else 
who combines as he does the qualities which make a first-class explorer, 
guide, hunter, field-naturalist and safari manager. Messrs. Newland 
and Tarlton, of Nairobi, did the actual work of providing and arranging 
for our whole journey in the most satisfactory manner.
