“The chief object of the expedition was to explore and survey the Musha and Roma plateaux, which lay to the South of the Akobo, between that river and Lake Rudolph in Central Africa. That object seems to have been accomplished with some thoroughness, and in describing the journey the authors afford their readers a good deal of useful information.... Starting from Khartoum in January in a flotilla of launches and boats, they found it possible to navigate the Sobat and Baro rivers as far as Gambela, on the Abyssinian frontier, and then, bearing south towards Lake Rudolph, traversed a well-watered and interesting region of which little is known.”—Spec.
“In the latest account of the marvels of this fascinating country a great deal of new and suggestive information is offered. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the volume is the chapter which deals with Abyssinia.”
