to operate successfully against the climate the European's baggage must be of incon- venient size, including filtering apparatus, cooking outfit, imported food, and many other necessities. The native soldier, on the other hand, is able to carry, on his person almost everything necessary to his comfort and well-being. He is able to keep parfactly fit on a diet of yame, and can drink with impunity wafer that would have a disastrous effect on European troops. No less remarkabla are his

powers of mar. ching, chiefly attributable to the fact that ho does not woar boste, the soles of his feet being of a consistency resembling that of wood. Sore feet, as known among white troops, do not exist for him, and he is capable of marching twenty miles a day with age-a no light matter in the tropics. AR transport in Southern Nigeria is per- formed by carriors, who are temporarily enlisted for a campaign, provided with aambar badges, and divided into gangs under headmen. They can each carry a lead of sixty pounds with ease, and keep up a very good pace. Horses and mulos are dificult to keep alive on account of 916 disease, chiefly caused by the tsetse fly. The country for the most part covered by a dobre bash through which it is in- possible to see for more than a yard or so, er move without first cutting a path. This bush is intersected by narrow and winding 18tive "bush paths, along which it is im- possible to march except in single file, and from which one is scarcely able to sens yard into the growth on wither side.

It is interesting to note that up-country nativos, when moving about a government clearing or other open spaco, da so in single file, so accustomed are they to being unable to walk in any other formation. Columns extend, therefore, a very great distance from front to rear, and it is necessary to reduce the number of carriers to a minimum to prevent a force becoming unwickly.

The troops are trained for bush fighting by what is know as Bosh Drill," the principle of which is as follows :—-
