Western field . hiefs are appointed by the higherchiefs and are under their control. Of all the land claimed by the Nandi onlya small portion is cultivated; yams are theprincipal crop, but some grain is raised. Although the Nandi claim territory ex-tending to Lake Victoria, of late years the Kavoronda have steadily pushed theirway along the lake shore until now they pre-dominate at certain points. From all ac-counts they are a very interesting people, butit was not my good fortune to come in con-tact with them very much, and not beingvery sure of such information as was avail-able regarding them, I must leave it forsome other writer to enlighten us.

These arti-cles, although not entering into details orhistory to any extent, have, I hope, given thereader an idea of that portion of Africa, andsome information regarding its inhabitantswhich will prove both instructive and inter-esting.
