Abstract
Between the years 1884-1893, Swayne, then an officer in the British Army, undertook several journeys in (mainly British) Somaliland. This source is a record of his observations gained in these trips. It is useful for its descriptions of geography, nomadic life, settlement patterns, and material culture.
