Illustrations of "The Wild Tribes of the Soudan", by Mr. F. L. James, F.R.G.S.: arrival of meat in camp, 1883. 'Books on the Soudan are likely to be in request just now; and we can recommend...one published by Mr. Murray this week, from which we are permitted to borrow four Illustrations. The author...spent four months, December to April, 1882, in an East African sporting expedition...The Basé or Kunama race, dwelling higher up the Khor el Gash towards Abyssinia, have been less known; and Mr. James's account of them is of some value. For this reason, as well as for the anecdotes of personal experience of hunting and shooting, and of natural history,...his book, "The Wild Tribes of the Soudan," will obtain its due share of public attention...The Basé are a wild race of savages, frequently at war with their neighbours, and one tribe or village among them has little or no communication with another. Students of human nature in that rude condition will find instruction in this volume, which is very well put together; and the woodcuts and etchings have much artistic merit. They are either copied from photographs by Mr. W. D. James and Mr. G. P. V. Aylmer, with some by Professor Buchta, of Munich; or from sketches by Sir. R. B. Colvin'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
