The African student of medicine is often placed in a difficult situation as regards ethical systems, for he inherits a local system of ethics and has usually had a Western system superimposed upon him. Moreover he faces ethical problems different from those of his American or European counterpart—problems concerning organ transplantation or human experimentation are of less consequence than clashes between conflicting loyalties. From his many years of experience in Africa, Dr Stanley Browne,...

The federal university which linked together university colleges in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from 1963–70 was posited on the need to economize on scarce resources. Accordingly, the developmental principles adopted emphasized phased expansion and non-duplication of expensive faculties within a given period. However, the University administration proved too weak to resist the centrifugal forces of national ambition in each territory, and in the ensuing process of disintegration the expansion...

Ethnic stereotyping by Ethiopian students of four important ethnolinguistic groups (the Amhara, Tigre, Galla, and Gurage) was investigated. The method used was a modification of the Katz and Braly technique for assessing generality of stereotypes. The tendency to stereotype both one's own and other groups was quite marked, and there was considerable overlap between in-group and out-group description. Where there were discrepancies, the in-group evaluation was more positive and the out-group...

Urinary excretion of d-xylose during a 5-hr period after 25 g of the sugar was given orally has been estimated in 70 Zambian African men. Seventeen had pulmonary tuberculosis and sixteen had an acute bacterial infection. Six healthy Englishmen were also studied. The mean excretion of xylose in the tuberculosis (P< 0.001) and acute infection (P< 0.05) groups was significantly lower than that in Zambian patients without bacterial infections. Both groups with infections had a significantly...

Summary Bouldery outcrops of coarse-grained olivine-free lava, containing abundant orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, mostly in glomerophyric aggregates, occur over a small area among the Tertiary to Recent volcanics of the Jos Plateau, Nigeria. This is the only rock of tholeiitic affinity in an otherwise completely alkaline volcanic province. Petrographically it does not greatly resemble tholeiitic occurrences reported from such provinces elsewhere, but that is believed to be due more to a...

An outline is given of the ecology of the Virunga volcanoes, comprising the Volcano National Park, Rwanda. This is the only known habitat of the Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla beringei). The problem of settlement and cattle grazing is discussed, and the importance of the area as a water catchment zone is stressed.
