The designation of the markings as

Formed en Mud Flats.
The "chevron" formation of the
markings Is due to the accumulation
of Hue mud In a slow run off on a
mud lint, with a gentle slope. Some
slight obstruction, such as a grain
of sand or a bit of plant material or
a hard piece of mud, was enough to
start the formation of alight ridge
along which the markings continue.
On another slab of red shale are
to be seen circular marks where a
plant leaf or a piece of grass made
circular scratches In the soft mud

It looks to me

notes to me wild elephants, desert
wastes, uutraverw-d jungles teeming
with strange animals and deadly ser

ages with rings In their noses and poi
soned arrows Iti tbe quivers which
liny carry on their backs. My cousin
Tracy has Just coma from Africa and
hit account of what he has seen there
Is quite different from the picture
which I have painted of that, to me,
undiscovered country. There are ford
cars In Africa. Trury tells me. and ra

water softeners, and electric lights,
and hard roads, and the girls bob
their hair and curry lipsticks Just as
they do In other civilised countries.
I have been quite mistaken In my
