is a treatise on the _Lunda_ language of the southwestern part of the Belgian Congo, in Portuguese, by Henrique de Carvalho, who also in his _Ethnographia da Expedica[o] portugueza [v.03 p.0363] ao Muata Yanvo_ goes deeply into Bantu language questions. The _Duala_ language of Cameroon, has been illustrated by the Baptist missionary Saker in his works published about 1860, and since 1900 by German missionaries and explorers (such as Schuler). The German work on the Duala language is mostly published in the _Mittheilungen des Seminaers fuer Orientalische Sprachen_ (Berlin); see also Schuler's _Grammatik des Duala_. The Rev. S. Koelle, in his _Polyglotta Africana_, published in 1851, gave a good many interesting vocabularies of the almost unknown north-west Bantu borderland, as well as of other forms of Bantu speech of the Congo coast and Congo basin. J. T. Last, in his _Polyglotta Africana Orientalis_, has illustrated briefly many of the East African dialects and languages, some otherwise touched by no one else. He has also published an excellent grammar of the _Kaguru_ language of the East African highlands (Usagara). The fullest information is now extant regarding the languages of _Uganda_ and _Unyoro_, in works by the missionaries of the Church Missionary Society (Pilkington, Blackledge, Hattersley, Henry Duta and others). Mr Crabtree, of the same mission, has collected information regarding the _Masaba_ dialects of Elgon, and these have also been illustrated by Mr C. W. Hobley, and by Sir H. H. Johnston (_Uganda Protectorate_), and privately by Mr S. A. Northcote. Mr A. C. Madan has published works on the _Swahili_ language and on the little-known _Senga_ of Central Zambezia and _Wisa_ of North-East Rhodesia (Oxford University Press). Jacottet (Paris, 1902) has in his _Grammaire Subiya_ provided an admirable study of the _Subiya_ and _Luyi_ languages of Barotseland, and in 1907, Edwin W. Smith (Oxford University Press) brought out a _Handbook of the Ila Language_ (Mashukulumbwe). The Rev. W. Govan Robertson is the author of a complete study of the _Bemba_ language. Mrs Sydney Hinde has illustrated the dialects of _Kikuyu_ and _Kamba_. F. Van der Burgt has published a _Dictionary of Kirundi_ (the language spoken at the north end of Tanganyika). _Oci-herero_ of Damaraland has chiefly been illustrated by German writers, old and new; such as Dr Kolbe and Dr P. H. Brincker. The northern languages of this Herero group have be
