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
