Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) A JINRICKSHA, NATAL. East and West, Japan and London, have been put under contribution to furnish respectively the design and the material of this elegant and convenient little carriage. Those who have travelled in Japan can bear testimony to the extraordinary endurance and speed of the Jinricksha men. In Natal a sturdy-looking Zulu boy is charged with the task of drawing the charming burden of which he makes so light. Probably every country has the conveyance best suited to its peculiar needs, but there seems no particular reason why the Jinricksha should not some day make its appearance in the streets of London, and fill a place not wholly occupied either by the hansom or by the ubiquitous bicycle.
