ABSTRACT
The negroes in the cities of Tunis and Tripoli, and in the towns of Gafsa and Sfax are very much cleaner than are many of their brethren in their own country, because they have to conform to the regulations imposed by the French and Italians, but even in Northern Nigeria the Hausas will bear comparison with all other tribes there which I have noticed except the Ankwoi, though they come nowhere near, hygienically speaking, to some of the Gold Coast tribes—e.g. the Ashantis.
