Reproduction of the original: Follk Stories Fron Southern Nigeria by Elphinstone Dayrell

The stories are full of mentions of strange institutions, as well as of rare adventures. I may be permitted to offer some running notes and comments on this mass of African curiosities from the crowded lumber-room of the native mind.
