SOUTH AFRICAN ABORIGINES—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN,
and A BABY, of the BOSIIEMAN er BUSH TRIBE, from the
interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could
never before
be induced to visit a place of civilization. This oppor-
*Ml ty of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology
has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the
gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay
cif capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus
adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance.
(From Moffatt, the Missionary's Work on Southern Africa, page 53.)
Poor Bushman I Thy hand has been against every one, alid
every one's hand against thee. For generations past they have been
haunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived of what nature
had made their own, they became desperate, wild, fierce, and indo-
mitable in their habits. Hanger compel.; them to feed upon every-
thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mysembry antharnams, the core of
aloes, gum of acarias, and other plants and berries, some of which
are extremely unwholesome, constitute their fruits; whilst almost
every kind of lining creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts,
and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well as Innoxious
serpents they roast and eat. 'They carefully extract their bags or
reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the points of their
arrows."

FXETER-HALL. A LECTURE on the
BOSJIEMAN RACE (Pigmies) of SOUTHERN AFRICA,
unquestionably the most extraordinary race of mankind, as well
physically as intellectually, will be DELIVERED on the EVENING
of MONDAY, the 17th inst., at Eight P.M., by ROBERT KNOX, M.D.,
F.R.S.E., Corresponding Member of the Academie Royale de Mede-
clue, and Lecturer on Anatomy and Physiology.
This Lecture is particularly addressed to those interested in the
exciting events new going on in South-Eastern Africa, in the Kaffir
War, in the great question of race, and the probable extinction of the
Aboriginal races, the progress of the Anglo-African Empire, and the
all-important questions of Christian mission, and human civilization
in that quarter of the globe. In illustration of the Lecture, Dr.
Knox will introduce to the notice of the physiologist and man of
science Five Bosjiemans, or Bush people—two males, two females
and infant, the only specimens of this singular race of human beings
that ever visited Europe.
