It is a striking commentary on the "strength of the Dundee front line that they have acored only one goal in four successive games.

The three papers written by Pereira himself and included in the book show him to have been an earnest student of Chinese affairs who had at heart the wel fafe of the troubled country in which he had travelled so far. His work as a geographer was not in vain, and in the War Office maps have been compiled from his surveys; and, as Sir Francis says, the spirit which animated his work will remain as an inspiration to all who follow after him in that distant border- land, and to many a lover of travel in overy quarter of the world
