FOOTNOTES:
[1] Mr. P. G. Hamerton, _Lives of Modern Frenchmen_, p. 95.
[2] His friend here referred to was killed by a fall from his horse
late that autumn.
[3] _Fraser’s Magazine_, November 1856.
[4] _Paraguay, Brazil, and the Plate._ By C. B. Mansfield, M.A.
With a Sketch of the Author’s Life by the Rev. C. Kingsley, pp. xi.-xvi.
[5] Mr. Gray died of fever at the above Lake a few months afterwards.
[6] Mr. T. E. Buckley, the gentleman here alluded to, had come out from
England in the same ship as Frank Oates and his brother, on a shooting
expedition, and had been joined at Maritzburg by Mr. Gilchrist, of
Ospisdale, Sutherlandshire, who had already been out upwards of two
years, travelling and hunting in South Africa. These gentlemen both
accompanied the brothers as far north as the Tati River, whence Frank
Oates went on alone towards the Zambesi.
[7] This instrument was afterwards kindly replaced by Mr. Lys of
Pretoria.
[8] The accompanying illustration of the high veldt is from a sketch
taken early in December, when the grass has grown after the summer
rains, the country then presenting a very different appearance from its
dried and parched aspect in winter.
[9] Strictly speaking, Bamangwato is the name applied to the district
north of the Transvaal inhabited by that branch of the Basuto race,
and Shoshong the name of the king’s town or residence; but the latter
also is more frequently spoken of, in common parlance, as Bamangwato or
Mungwato.
[10] Small stream.
[11] Mr. Nelson of the mine.
[12] The body of the dead lion was found soon afterwards by some
natives--for the shot had proved fatal--and the skin taken by them to
the Tati settlement. The ox had sustained so severe an injury that he
had to be shot the following morning.
[13] This refers to Hendrik, the man of that name above alluded to.
[14] The Hon. G. C. Dawnay, on his way home from the Zambesi.
[15] Mr. Petersen was a trader whom Frank Oates had met at Tati.
[16] Meat dried in the sun.
[17] Doubtless a species of Euphorbia, many varieties of which ar met
with in South Africa.
[18] Mr. Fairbairn was agent at the King’s Town for a Mr. Cruickshank,
with whom Frank Oates had had business dealings at Bamangwato.
[19] Probably the Euphorbia above referred to (_vide_ p. 46),
which frequently attains the size of a small tree.
[20] The term applied to the small fold or enclosure made round a hut
or waggon, for shelter and protection, by means of branches rudely
placed in the ground.
[21] _i.e._ The pole of the waggon.
[22] The interpreter here spoken of was a native from Graham’s Town,
who remained with Frank Oates till July the following year.
[23] The guide.
[24] Frank Oates collected, during his wanderings, a considerable
variety of birds’ eggs and nests, some of the latter very remarkable in
their construction. Two of these are represented in the accompanying
woodcut, the first of which--probably that of an Ægithalus or Penduline
Titmouse--is of the consistency and texture of fine blanket, and nearly
white in colour. It appears to be made from white cotton, or some
similar vegetable substance. The second is ingeniously composed of the
finer portions of reeds, in the manner of close basket-work, and is
found in great numbers along the banks of rivers, and in marshy places,
affixed to the rushes.
[25] One of the boys.
[26] Spring.
[27] These knob-kerries, which answer the purpose of a life-preserver,
are made of various kinds of wood or of rhinoceros horn, and carved
according to the fancy of the maker. They are sometimes adorned with
beads (see one of those in the woodcut), but the more ordinary form is
that of a short stick with a single rounded knob at the end, to give
it weight. The natives can throw them a great distance with marvellous
accuracy, being often able to bring down a bird on the wing with one of
them.
[28] A sister of the king’s.
[29] The woodcut on the succeeding page illustrates a variety of
different assegais. The heads of these weapons are wrought by the
natives themselves, and fastened to the shafts by strips of raw hide,
which shrink in the drying, and become as hard as a band of iron. The
length of the shaft is usually from three to four feet.
[30] Here the day’s entry ends abruptly, with only a few brief notes
intended for the writer’s future guidance, and unavailable for
another’s use.
[31] This gentleman, Mr. F. C. Selous, had already been out some time
hunting in South Africa, and was subsequently again met with by Frank
Oates near the Victoria Falls.
[32] A native temporarily engaged at Gubuleweyo.
[33] Brass wire is considerably used by the natives of South Africa for
purposes of ornamentation. Above are represented two hunting-knives,
the upper one of which has the sheath and handle (which are of wood)
handsomely adorned with fine twisted brass wire. The sheath of the
lower knife is of raw hide strongly sewn together.
[34] “These ‘white ants’ (Termites),” writes W. Oates, “are the curse
of all African settlers and travellers, devouring everything except
iron or tin, whilst in time even houses succumb to their ravages. They
form, however, an article of food in many places amongst the natives,
by whom they are much esteemed on account of their slightly acid
flavour. The enormous structures they erect are frequently carried up
the trunk of a high tree, or may sometimes be seen standing alone at
a height of 18 feet, as in the accompanying sketch, which was taken
between Tati and Shoshong. The Dutch Boers and others make use of these
ant-hills for cooking purposes, hollowing out the lower portion of the
heap, and filling the hollow thus formed with wood, which is lighted,
and, when consumed, renders the receptacle an admirable oven, retaining
its heat for a great length of time.”
[35] Piet Jacobs, the Dutch hunter, referred to in the previous Chapter.
[36] A trader of that name at Tati.
[37] The latter was W. Oates’s Kafir driver, who, it may be remembered,
had turned out a consummate rascal.
[38] In the coloured illustration opposite, taken on this river by W.
Oates, when there the previous year, the dry sandy bed of the Semokwe
is distinguished towards the horizon, with tall rushes upon its bank.
The large trees, still in leaf, to the left hand of the picture, are
mimosas, near one of which, still further to the left, is seen a large
ant-hill, used as an oven, in the manner described above (_vide_
p. 135).
[39] The accompanying woodcut, from a drawing taken a little south
of Shoshong (Bamangwato), represents one of the salt lakes of this
district as seen in winter. The water in these lakes is then all dried
up, and their beds, composed of salt and sand, present a dazzling white
appearance.
[40] A rare luxury at the present time, only to be indulged in on great
or special occasions, owing to the increasing scarcity of water with
the cessation of the rains. “I am miserable,” he writes one day about
this time, “for want of water to wash myself in, ever so superficially.”
[41] This refers to John, the man whom Frank Oates had engaged as
interpreter at Gubuleweyo some months before, and whom he had since
retained in the capacity of general servant. He had recently acted as
driver in the place of Karl Lee, who had returned from Tati to his
brother’s farm, instead of coming forward, as intended, to Bamangwato.
[42] The coloured drawing opposite illustrates the position of the
town of Shoshong (Bamangwato). In front stretches a dry sandy plain,
the native huts collected under the shelter of the mountains, which
afford an easy refuge in times of warfare. The huts and stores of a few
English traders, built of wood or clay, are seen grouped together at
one extremity of the town--to the left hand. The only water in the dry
season, as mentioned in a previous chapter, is got from a small stream
up the gorge behind the town, some distance off, whence it is taken
to the town in small vessels upon people’s heads. In this gorge stand
the church and mission station of the London Missionary Society, from
which are seen a short way off the beehive-like huts of Shoshong on the
plain; see the woodcut at page 149.
[43] This river, represented in most of the recent maps as taking
its rise but a few miles from here, and flowing away directly to the
westward towards the salt lakes, is in reality--so the traveller
afterwards learnt from at least three distinct witnesses--a part of the
Shashe River, the same river which is crossed on the Bamangwato and
Tati road, a few miles before reaching Tati, coming north. One of these
witnesses, Mr. Dobie of the mine, had, moreover, struck the river, he
said, about thirty miles northward of the drift on which the waggons
were now outspanned, and had found it a big river even there, where,
according to the maps, it is not even in existence. The slate formation
in which the gold is found runs, it seems, to a narrow point as far as
this river-drift, and there ceases altogether.
[44] The Red-billed Black Weaver-bird, _Textor erythrorhynchus_.
[45] This kraal, the first outpost of the Makalakas, is described as
“Wankee’s” in the traveller’s later Journals, and is so marked upon the
map.
[46] Mr. Dorehill had been met by Frank Oates previously at Bamangwato,
and subsequently accompanied him part of the way on his final journey
to the Zambesi.
[47] This was the last occasion on which Frank Oates encountered
Mr. Thomson, who, some time after the events here narrated--in
1877--returned to England, to convey thence, under the auspices of the
London Missionary Society, a party of missionaries to Lake Tanganyika.
He accomplished the journey successfully, but unhappily was attacked
by sunstroke soon after his arrival, and died from its effects in
September 1878.
[48] A kind of hemp, much used for smoking by the natives.
[49] The man appointed by the king.
[50] _i.e._, stream or ditch.
[51] A mine near Tati.
[52] This refers to the late Mr. Henry Skelton, formerly of Wadham
College, Oxford, who died in Borneo, in the service of the late Rajah
Brooke, soon after his appointment as Resident of Saráwak.
[53] The time occupied in the transmission of letters has, since the
above was written, been much curtailed, owing to the establishment,
through missionary enterprise, of direct postal communication between
Bamangwato and the Cape.
[54] In June the following year, this man was seen by Mr.
Gilchrist--whose journey into the interior is related in the concluding
chapter of this narrative--living near Rustenberg, in the Transvaal,
apparently in perfect health.
[55] The woodcut opposite illustrates two of the whydah-finches, which
the traveller collected during his present stay at Tati. The general
colour of the upper bird is black, with a collar of ruddy brown, fading
into buff beneath; that of the lower one black and pale yellow, the
bill and legs coral-red. In the winter season these birds lose their
long tail feathers, and their plumage becomes a mottled brown; a great
contrast to their striking summer dress. There are many varieties of
these finches, one species of which (_Chera progne_), a native of
the Transvaal, suffers serious inconvenience from these adornments in
a high wind. The long tail feathers are much used by the natives for
ornaments and head-dresses.
[56] The skulls and other remains here obtained were brought to
England, with the rest of the traveller’s collections, after his
decease, and form the subject of the interesting paper kindly
contributed to the Appendix of this volume by Professor Rolleston, for
whom they were collected.
[57] An arid ridge or zone of sand, of frequent occurrence in this
district, extending sometimes a distance of many miles.
[58] This was a native from the Cape, named John Mackenna, who, as well
as Klaas the driver, remained with Frank Oates till his death.
[59] This letter was not received in England.

[63] Dr. Bradshaw, since the above was written, has been down from
the interior to the Cape, with considerable collections of birds and
insects formed during his travels. Some of the former of these have
reached the British Museum, and are alluded to by Mr. Sharpe in the
Appendix to this volume.
[64] Mr. Gilchrist, whose subsequent journey into the interior is
related below, and who brought the particulars of this and other
incidents connected with the narrative to England, understood the dog
to have gone back to his master’s grave the whole way from the Tati
settlement--a distance of nearly eighty miles.
[65] By a singular coincidence, Frank Oates’s devoted favourite,
“Rail”--for four years after reaching England the valued companion of
his late master’s relatives--died on the 5th of February 1880, the
fifth anniversary of his master’s death, followed but three weeks later
by his companion, “Rock.”
[66] See his two Reports concerning his Researches into the Bushman
Language and Customs and Folklore, presented to both Houses of
Parliament of the Cape of Good Hope, by command of his Excellency the
Governor, 1873 and 1875, and _Journal Anthrop. Inst._ 1871.
[67] Perhaps intended for Eland’s Been, near Schietfontein, in the
District of Carnarvon, Cape Colony.--Ed.
[68] For the relation of the alisphenoid, squamous, and frontal,
see Broca, _Instructions Craniologiques_, pp. 26, 27, 1875;
and Gruber, _Ueber die Verbindung der Schläfenbeinschuppe mit
dem Stirnbein. Mém. de l’Académie Impériale des Sciences de St.
Pétersbourg_, tom. xxi. No. 5, 1874. Hermann Schlocker, _Ueber die
Anomalieen des Pterion;_ Inaugural Dissertation Zum. Univ. Dorpat.
1879.
It is right, however, to add that the skull of the Bushwoman whose
brain Professor Marshall has described, _l.c._, had the squamous
of the left side joined to the frontal, and that with obliteration
of the suture; and that though Dr. Williamson has not recorded the
presence of this junction in any of the three Bushman crania described
by him in his _Catalogue of the Army Medical Museum_, 1867, he
has noted it in two out of the seven skulls of the closely affined
Hottentot race.
[69] Similarly rudimentary sutures are observable in several of the
Bushman crania in the Royal College of Surgeons of London.
[70] It may be well here to give the literature of “Os (Malare)
bipartitum.”

Laurillard’s words from Cuvier’s _Anatomie Compareé_, vol. ii. pp.
381, 2, are specially worthy of being quoted, as they were published so
long ago as 1837. They are as follows:--
“Au bord inférieur du jugal nous avons trouvé sur deux sujets un os
particulier, alongé et aplati, étendu tout le long du bord inférieur
du jugal, et d’articulant en avant avec l’extremité très saillante
de l’apophyse malaire du maxillaire et en arrière avec l’apophyse
zygomatique du temporal, laquelle se trouve ainsi présenter deux
sutures, l’une verticale avec le jugal proprement dit, l’autre
horizontale avec ce second jugal et faisant un angle presque droit avec
la précédente. Dans les sujets ou nous l’avons rencontré, la forme de
ce nouvel os, des connexions avec les os voisins, sa proportion avec
l’os malaire proprement dit, étaient les mêmes et comme nous l’avons
trouvé, ainsi que nous le dirons plus loin, dans certaines espèces de
singes une subdivision parfaitement semblable, nous sommes portés à la
considérer autrement que comme une disposition purement accidentelle.”
[71] See Cleland, _Phil. Trans._ 1870, p. 163.
[72] _British Barrows_, pp. 563 and 677.
[73] Many references to the older literature treating of the two
peculiarities mentioned will be found in Waltz’s _Anthropologie_,
Th. i. pp. 120–122, 1859. An important note regarding the latter of
the two is given by a man of science residing at the Cape of Good Hope
in Professor Flower and Dr. Murie’s “Account of the Dissection of a
Bushwoman,” _Journal of Anatomy and Physiology_, No. II. May 1867,
p. 208.
[74] For this see Hartmann, _Die Nigritier_, 1876, p. 492, who
cites Schweinfurth, _Heart of Africa_, Eng. tran., vol. ii. chap.
xvi., Du Chaillu, and the Rev. J. G. Wood, _Natural History of
Man_. Africa, p. 538, 1868.
[75] The point of similarity is not, I apprehend, in the character of
the music so much as in the fact that the compared peoples admire it
such as it is. Of the Kalmuck music Pallas writes (and, as the work
is little accessible, I quote) as follows, _Sammlungen Historischer
Nachrichten über die Mongolischen Völkerschaften_, i. p. 152--“Die
Melodie der Kalmücken, besonders ihre zärtliche und verliebte Musik,
hat solche langgezerte klagliche Töne und solche Dissonanzen, dass
sie ein gutgewohntes Ohr mit noch fast mehr Widerwillen als alte
Französische Musik, anhört!”
[76] Mr. W. F. Kirby has injudiciously sunk Boisduval’s generic name
for this group, containing 33 species, and adopted in its stead one of
Hübner’s four sub-generic names (into which he had divided them), which
only comprised four of the species.
[77] The name of this species is accidentally omitted in the classified
index of the second series of Swainson’s “Illustrations;” and Mr.
Trimen complains that the plate is not in the copy of the work in the
Public Library at Cape Town, having been probably omitted by the binder
from not appearing in the classified index.
[78] The plants collected by Mr. Oates in South-East Africa have been
named at Kew under the direction of Professor Oliver; the two novelties
having been described by Mr. J. G. Baker, F.R.S. Those plants which are
distinguished by an asterisk * were obtained between Pietermaritzburg
and the Crocodile River; the rest all in Matabele Land.--Ed.
