In the Appendices to "Seventeen Trips" will be found all information necessary as to the fitting out of a caravan, its cost, &c, also hints as to clothing, equipment, stores, and rifles. I have therefore no wish to touch on any of these matters, but merely desire to point out for the benefit of any one intending to visit Somaliland, that the conditions under which In Pursuit of the "Mad" Mullah shooting parties are now allowed to proceed into the country have been somewhat modified, owing to the provisions of the International Agreement for the protection of big game in Africa, which was signed in London in 1900.

The Somalis have deeply religious tendencies and are the strongest of all tribes on the border. They are considered true wanderers and the most hard-working peple ever. The author and traveler Henry A. Rayne described the tribe with great detail and accuracy. He wrote about their early history, religion, trade, location, economy, and many more.
Shari'a, Inshallah shows how people have used shari'a to struggle for peace, justice, and human rights in Somalia and Somaliland.
