  <dc:title>Letter from Major E. J. E. Hawkins, c/o the National Bank of India, Nairobi, to William Bate Hardy, Secretary of the Royal Society</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Explains that he has seen an article in an English paper discussing the Reverend John Roscoe's trip to East Africa, and the difficulty that Roscoe had in obtaining photographs of certain tribal customs. Hawkins explains that he has taken a cinema photo of 'female circumcision rites amongst some of the most shenzi (or uncivilised) Kukuyuo' [Kikuyu]. Asks the Royal Society to advise him on where to dispose of this film, which he thinks is of considerable scientific interest.  </dc:description>
