Six full-color plates; these plates and the duotone illustrations were the product "of fourteen months in Africa spent mainly on the West Coast, that district from which the black population of the United States was drawn. Taking no more luggage than we would under ordinary traveling conditions, we moved from port to port and entered the far interior. Such transportation as offered, we used: motor lorries; jungle omnibuses catering only to black passengers; launches; canoes; flat-bottomed river boats; and cargo steamers--nine of these, sailing under six different flags. When there were trains, we rode in them; when none, we trekked. This travel was beset with discomfort and, where sanitation, at its best, is poor, with dangers of tropical plagues. Hotels were few and of the frontier type. We took what shelter we could find. We lodged with missionaries of many nationalities and sects. Traders rented us spare rooms over shops. We occupied Government Rest Houses or, equipped for camping, dwelt alone in Bush villages." [4], 5-119 [1] pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
