In this, the third volume of the James Stuart Archive, we present a further twenty-eight documents compiled from material in the James Stuart Collection of the Killie Campbell Africana Library in Durban . The documents represent edited, annotated, and (wher e the original appears in Zulu) translated renderings of notes and transcriptions of oral hist orical testimony gathered by James Stuart during interviews with persons possessing knowledge of the history and customs of the Zulu people and their neighbours. This testimony, which Stuart , a Natal pfficial, assembled piecemeal in the 1890s and early decades of the present century, is being published in the successive volumes of the James Stuart Archive under the names of the informants from whom it was obtained, ordered in alphabetical name-sequence . The present volume carries the sequence from Mbokodo to Mpatshana , and brings to ninety-nine the number of informant s whose statements have so far been published in the series.
