"Hottentot and Bushman. A Summary of Accumulated Knowledge." The "Cape Argus" article states that while knowledge of and literature pertaining to the Bushmen has reached great proportions, the study of them and the Hottentots remains incomplete. It discusses Dr I. Schapera's publication "The Khoisan Peoples of South Africa" and its analysis of the close relationship between Hottentots and Bushmen. Article concludes by stating how Khoisan are in a special position due to "highly specialised" investigations by those such as Miss Bleek and Mrs Hoernle. Slip of paper pasted underneath clipping reads: "International Press-Cutting Bureau, 51, Red Lion St., London, W.C.I. Extract from Cape Argus Cape Town. 31 Jan 1931 [stamped]".
