Mr Neville Chittick has written to point out that two unfortunate transpositions have occurred in the correction note already published (Journal of African History, viii, no. 1 (1967), 180) in respect of his article ‘The “Shirazi” colonization of East Africa’, which was published in the Journal, vi, no. 3 (1965), 275–94. These have inverted the sense of the corrections to pp. 276 and 291, which should have read:

P. 276, 4 lines from bottom: for read

P. 291, line 3 of note 46: for read

Professor Satish Saberwal has written to make two corrections to his article ‘Historical notes on the Embu of central Kenya’ (Journal, viii, no. I (1967), 29–38).

On page 31, the first word of the second line of note 7 should be ‘tradition’ (not ‘translation’).

With respect to note 21 on page 34, he writes:

I attribute to Professor Oliver here a position which distorts his intent seriously. I tried to correct this in the proofs, but the error appears to have escaped correction. I would have liked to drop the first sentence of this note completely.
