While previous to the book, since the beginning of the century, there had only been three trans-African explorations:— 1. Livingstone From St. Paul da Loanda to 1854-1856. Quilimane 2. Lieut. Cameron, R.N. ” Bagamoyo to Benguella 1873-1875. 3. Stanley’s first journey ” Bagamoyo to Mouth of the 1874-1877. Congo With regard to the numerous other expeditions which took place since 1878, there is no space for mention, but Joseph Thomson’s travels, _viâ_ Nyassa, to the Tanganika, and his brilliant journey through Masai Land; Count Teleki and Von Hohnel’s travels in Eastern Africa, which resulted in the discovery of Lakes Rudolf and Stephanie; Captain Bottego’s journey through Somali Land, and Dr. Donaldson Smith’s exploration of Somali and Galla Lands were of the first importance. It has, however, required the services of some hundreds of travellers since 1878 to fill up the sum of our present knowledge of the Continent. In 1878 there was not one European-built boat in all Equatorial Africa. By 1881 there were five, but by December 31st, 1898, there were seventy-two steamers and one hundred and sixty-four steel boats or barges, while there is a very large addition to the African flotillas either on its way, or in process of construction. It may be imagined how much these vessels have expedited exploration when I say that out of the seventeen trans-African explorers no less than thirteen of them were transported with their followers and effects some hundreds of miles on their way.
