Book Description

Excerpt from A Comparative Study of the Herpetological Faunae of the Uluguru and Usambara Mountains, Tanganyika Territory With Descriptions of New Species It rained nearly every day that I was at Nyange and in consequence the natives were kept busy weeding their plots. In many places these clearings abutted on the forest, or were even on ground quite recently covered by forest, of which smouldering logs and stumps were all that remained. AS the parents weeded, the children gathered the grass and uprooted vegetation into heaps which were left scattered about on the somewhat bare ground, for the maize was little more than a foot high in most of the cultivated areas.
