Africana

African teak, let me note, is not teak properly so called, but the timber of the Oldfieldia Africana.

Mr. Duff Macdonald, in Africana, writes: ‘Every man who dies what we call a natural death is really killed by witches.’

The 'Parra Africana' runs about on the surface, as if walking on water, catching insects.

Another African bird, namely, the 'Buphaga Africana', attends the rhinoceros for a similar purpose.
