Description | Explains the object and intended route of the Mackie ethnological expedition to Central Africa. Notes that he will travel to visit many tribes: the Gallas near Mombasa, the Kikuyu and Masai at Nairobi, the Ziba and Watuturu near Bukoba on the west and south-west of Lake Victoria, the ahima of Ankole, the Banyoro, the Bagesu on Mount Elgon and the Gallas on the Abysinia frontier. Then proposes to follow the Nile to Khartoum. Thinks that a better knowledge of people in this area will lead to fewer misunderstandings, and be better 'both for governing and developing them'. |
