By the Waters of Africa. By Norma Lorimer. (R. - Scott.

10, Gd. net.)—This is a very readable account of a traveller's experienete in British East Africa and Uganda, including an ascent of the Ruwenzori or Mountains of the Moon. am the great snow-clad range used to be celled, where there is a " Giants' Garden " with lobelias ten feet high. Miss Lorimer in her light-hearted pages from a diary gives perhaps a truer picture of daily life in these great Colonies than we find in more serious works. Tho more fact that she was able to travel so far in tine wilds, sometimes unattended, speaks well for the peace and order that prevail. Her photograph!, arc excellent.
