These I have incorporated into my paper verbatim, with his name attached to the extracts, except in instances when I had gathered the same information for myself; in such cases I did not think it necessary to do this. ELEPHAS AFRICANUS (the Elephant), /. c. p. 280. Besides the Knysna, the Elephant is still found in some of the other large forests of the eastern provinces of the Cape colony, one of the spots being the Addo bush, near Port Elizabeth. M y informant told m e that their spoor was frequently seen while the railway was being made, but that the animals apparently disliked to cross the line itself. In the Amatonga country, in a spot south of Delagoa Bay and east of the Bombo hills, there is a small herd preserved by the chief Nosingili; I am told, however, that they are for the most part tuskless and very fierce, which, I believe, is generally the case when they are without those appendages: from here they sometimes cross the Bombo, and wander, in summer, through the plains underneath these hills to places where the " Umganu " tree is common, to feed on its fruit, which is about the size of a plum, and of which the Elephants are extremely fond. In 1875 an Elephant was killed in Umsila's country, north of Delagoa Bay, with tusks weighing 1501b. each, which, I believe, is the largest pair ever known. EQUUS QUAGGA (the Quagga), I.e. p. 281. Mr. Layard, in his letter, makes the following remark on my statement as to the extinction of this the true Quagga:-" He is, I think, wrong. W e had a young Quagga (true) in the S.A. Museum ; and I several times saw skins for sale in Cape Town, mutilated and unfit for mounting. I forget the locality whence they came, but think it was somewhere from the S.W. Chapman and Andersson both spoke to m e of it; but I have not m y books to refer to." In the Table at the end of m y former paper, p. 291, there is a misprint relating to this animal, " the extensive plains north of the Vaal river ;" south should be substituted for north. EQUUS MONTANUS (the Zebra), I. c. p. 282. Mr. Layard gives another locality for this species. He says, " It was not extinct in 1868, to my personal knowledge. It existed in small troops in the Hottentot Holland mountains near Fransch Hock, not far from Cape Town. I know, in 1864, it was in the Swartbergen, between George and the Beaufort Karroo; I hunted it there along with the Kudu, though unsuccessfully. Buckley, in P.Z. S. 1876, p. 282, says, 'It was still said to occur in the Hottentot Holland mountains.' I heard of it on the mountains to the eastward, Zuurberg &c." CEPHALOPHUS GRIMMIA (the Duiker) /. c. p. 283. I was not aware, until Sir Victor Brooke informed me, that there |
