LAKE NGAMI Or explorations and discoveries during four years wandering in the wilds of South-western Africa. The narrative describes two expeditions, one in which the author was accompanied by Mr. Francis Galton, which extended to Nangoros Werft in the Ovambo country, and the other when he travelled by himself to Lake Ngami. The courage and the endurance of the explorers were remarkable, and their sufferings from the dearth of water were at times very terrible. Few, if any, books give so full and complete an account of Namaqualand, Damaraland, and the Ovambo country, and the description of the fauna of these countries is absolutely unequalled. Many exciting hunting adventures are depicted by pen and pencil, and the author obtained a great insight into the customs of the indigenous people. Galton sailed for England early in 1852, and Andersson commenced his journey to Lake Ngami in the early part of 1853, reaching the lake about the middle of the same year. He describes in detail the people and wild animals he encountered.
