In this extract from a larger journal the author describes the object of his visit to Nigeria in 1930,which was to see for himself the process, as practised by the Hausawa,of making flasks,boxes,and other receptacles from animal membranes,by layering and moulding the membrane over clay shapes, or cores,which are subsequently broken up inside the completed vessels,when the latter have dried sufficiently to retain the shape imparted by the cores.
