On the 27th of June all the preparations for myjourney were complete, and after taking leave of mykmd hosts, I set off towards the South. Mildbraedhad not yet returned from Ekuk. Herr Hoffmannaccompanied me for some distance, as far as a youngHevea plantation belonging to him. The size andflourishmg condition of the little trees showed howsuperior this india-rubber plant is to the indigenousKickxia. So far the road led tlu-ough a flat, cultivated district,but from tliis point onwards the country was undulating,and on the horizon rose a few isolated liills. Thevillages were of the same character as those in theneighbourhood of Ebolowa, although on the veryfirst days march we entered the country inhabited.
