Circulation in Third World Countries
Malaria, Forests and People in Southeast Asia
Forests and deforestation have important implications for health from ecological, social, economic and political points of view. These implications are examined for the case of malaria, a major public health problem which is difficult to control for various biomedical and entomological reasons. In addition, there are significant socio‐economic and political factors, particularly internal and international movements of population, which need to be…
John Hippisley on the Populousness of Africa: A Comment
Many books and pamphlets appeared in England during the 18th century on the trade of slaves between Africa and the Americas. John Hippisleys text on the populousness of Africa was published in 1764.

This article focuses upon circulation, or reciprocal flows of people, with specific reference to Third World societies. The many forms of circulation in Third World societies have lead to a profusion of terms, which efforts at constructing typologies have attempted to codify. Such attempts have underlined the lack of in-depth and longitudinal data to test classificatory frameworks. Explanatory models are similarly numerous: The partial nature of …

Migratory Labour from North-Wester Nigeria
Opening ParagraphReaders of Africa will be well aware of population migration as a characteristic feature of a continent where movement between one part and another is largely unrestricted as compared with the more settled parts of the world. There is much evidence of large-scale tribal migrations in the past, of the age-old seasonal wanderings of herders, and of recent labour migration to centres of mineral and industrial production, the last pa…

Population Density and ‘Slave Raiding’—A Comment
One of the more stimulating aspects of working in the field of African studies is the co-operation between scholars of related disciplines such as is not always found among those working in other parts of the world. Historians have been outstanding in promoting this co-operation and it was therefore gratifying to read Michael Mason's paper in the Journal , in which he uses and comments upon the work of geographers in developing his thesis that th…

The population census of Northern Nigeria 1952: Problems and results
A brief survey of censuses previously taken in Northern Nigeria makes clear by comparison the importance of the 1952 Census in the acquisition of demographic data. Some of the problems of organising and conducting the census are considered. The analysis of the census results pays special attention to the pattern of population density but consideration is also given to age and sex structure, occupations, tribal data, literacy and religions. Shortc…

Heinrich Barth and the Western Sudan
The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to and to acknowledge work of Heinrich Barth?traveller, geographer, historian and linguist?whom Lord Rennell has described as perhaps greatest traveller there has ever been in Africa. As a centenary lecture it might have been given in either of two preceding years or in one that follows. Towards close of year 1855 Barth returned to this country after more than five years of extensive journeyings thro…

assumptions and attitudes. He thinks it all too likely that the future will see a gradual withering of the spirit of independent government in Eritrea and the ultimate domina? tion, if not absorption, of that government by Ethiopian centralism (p. 147). Mr. Luther naturally assumes that economic and political development is desirable; he is in no doubt that the overwhelming majority of Ethiopians are not interested. C. F. Beckingham

A Geographer with the World Health Organization
World Health Organization and, during the weeks that I spent at headquarters in Geneva being briefed for work in Africa, I was frequently asked, 'What are you doing?', 'Why should a geographer be working for W.H.O.?' These were questions which were often repeated in Africa during the months spent as a consultant to the Division of Malaria Eradication. I found little difficulty in answering them and I pro? pose to do that in this paper. I shall ou…
African Ethnographic Maps, with a new Example from Northern Nigeria
Opening ParagraphThere is little evidence to show that ethnic differences in Africa result in problems of lesser magnitude at the present day than in the past. In recent years the problems of 'minorities' have had to be considered in Nigeria, while in the Republic of Congo (Léopoldville) ethnic conflicts and the reappearance of past tribal enmities have produced numerous tragic situations during the last twelve months. The frontiers of Africa wer…
