Traffics and Discoveries

Traffics and Discoveries is a collection of poems and short stories by Rudyard Kipling, published by Macmillan and Co. of London and Doubleday, Page of New York in 1904.

  • "Their Lawful Occasions" (as Part I and Part II)
  • The Comprehension of Private Copper
  • Steam Tactics
  • "Wireless"
  • The Army of a Dream (as Part I and Part II)

One poem precedes each story, as in many Kipling collections:

  • From the Masjid-Al-Aqsa of Sayyid Ahmed (Wahabi)
  • Poseidon's Law
  • The Runners
  • The Wet Litany
  • The King's Task
  • The Necessitarian
  • Kaspar's Song in "Varda"
  • Song of the Old Guard
  • The Return of the Children
  • From Lyden's "Irenius"
  • "Our Fathers Also"

The use of italic font for all poem titles only follows the Contents list in the first edition (London: Macmillan and Co., 1904). The use of quotation marks follows that list, and also the story headings and running heads, except that the first edition uses single quotation marks throughout.
