Besides its high interest in a meteorological point of view,the question of the distribution of rain in Africa is one of somuch practical importance in the gradual accumulation ofknowledge of the continent, that no apology seems to benecessary for an attempt to trace out, however imperfectly itcan be done as yet, the broader features of this problem. Indirecting the proper times for successful exploration byEuropeans of the many regions of the continent which arestill unknown, a knowledge of the seasons of rain and droughtmust be of the greatest consequence. The natives even canonly venture into some of the more arid deserts of the Sahara,during the times in which a few fleeting showers fill thedistant wells ; in tropical Africa, by contrast, the rains of thewet season may inundate the country thigh and waist deep,so that the traveller is brought to a standstill by the super-abundance of water on all sides
