NOTE TO THE HEADER 
proper names from long use have accustomed us to 
other spelling. Thus I write <c Galla,” although pro¬ 
perly it should be “ Gala,” and I have even avoided 
disfiguring the “ j ” of sc Kilima-njaro ” with a v ; 
although I fear the result of this lenity will be that 
half my readers will pronounce it wrongly. To avoid 
this I may, perhaps, for the benefit of the timid who 
always shirk African names, write its exact pro¬ 
nunciation in our clumsy English orthography. 
This would be : 
Killy-manjahro.
