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 under¬ 
taken save for the generous assistance of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, 
Mr. Oscar Straus, Mr. Leigh Hunt, and certain others, to all of 
whom lovers of natural history are therefore deeply indebted. 
I owe more than I can express to the thoughtful and unwearied 
consideration 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. Tar It on, 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.
