A review of the July 1929 issue of "Africa" journal (Vol. II no.3) edited by Diedrich Westermann. A review in "Times Literary Supplement" mentions, among other essays by noted researchers, Dorothea Bleek's two recent monographs on the Naron and Bushman vocabularies. In this volume Bleek continues her father's work with a "valuable contribution" on Bushman folklore - a general survey of animal legends and the part played by "personified or deified stars", followed by a discussion of Bushman prayers.
