My Somali Book

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I must also express my indebtedness for valuable criticisms upon the chapter on rifles, etc., to Captain Godfrey Marchant, i.a.; and to my cousin, H. F. M. Tyler, i.c.s. This chapter, and that on some aspects of the theory of protective colouration in the larger animals, deal with somewhat controversial questions upon which I have no desire to lay down the law, but I hope that they may be found not entirely without value as contributions to their respective subjects.
