## Summary

The steamer lands you at the entrance to the Senegal, in a country which has belonged to France for centuries, and yet is only known to the general public by its thermometrical mention, inscribed between ‘_bains ordinaires_’ and ‘_culture des vers à soie_’ at 40° centigrade as ‘the temperature of Senegal.’ These rudimentary notions are not even accurate. Will you believe that for months there you wear your greatcoat morning and evening, the mean temperature registered at the local observatory being 24°, not 40°?
