MR. RA'TCLIFFE HOLMES gets at once to business in his

fascinat- ing book about his journeys through wildest Africa seeking

subjects for his giant film Kilimanjaro. His chapters teem with incident. Here and there are shrewd observations upon the improved governance of the country since the German influence was removed. Observations, also, upon the fauna of the districts passed through, and sidelights upon the solitary British residents found here and there in the course of his wanderings. The book will be interesting to the sports- man, ethnologist and traveller.
