ABSTRACT
Shortly after the war the two Governments of France and Great Britain divided the former German colony of Togoland into two spheres more or less equal in area. To the British Colony of the Gold Coast was allotted the trusteeship of the western sphere which runs contiguous to the former's eastern frontier. The district itself is physically a replica of the Southern Section of the sphere with ranges of mountains running north and south along the eastern frontier and to a depth of several miles. Elsewhere the country is traversed by many rivers. Scenery there is negligible, almost wearyingly monotonous. Mere plains more or less covered with bushes and small trees - plains undulating and as uninteresting as the ground swell in a becalmed mid-ocean. It is not surprising therefore to find many beliefs of the grossest superstition just as one would expect to find among the country folk of the remoter rural districts in Europe.
