Show 322 ON THE GAME-ANIMALS OF SOMALILAND. [Apr. 3, Webbe, and they are plentiful beyond in Galla-land. They are said to exist to the south-east of Berbera, but I never saw any traces of them. W e found the Rhinoceros the most stupid game-animal we have encountered, and easily approached if the wind is right. They were not more prone to charge than Elephants, and 1 only had one narrow escape. I have never seen more than three together. The ground they like best is very stony broken hills with some river-bed not too many miles distant, where they can go at night to drink and bathe. They travel considerable distances to the river and wander all night up and down the channel looking for a convenient pool, and making a maze of tracks in the soft sand. The Abbasgul, Malingur, and Rer Amaden tribes eat their flesh when hungry, and I found it very good and lived for a week on it. W e could usually cut from 15 to 30 shields from each Rhinoceros, | inch thick and 15 inches in diameter, worth about a dollar apiece at the coast. Everywhere in Central Ogaden the caravan-tracks are furrowed in grooves a yard or more long and six inches deep, which look like the work of a plough. This is done by the Rhinoceros plunging his front horn and hard thick lip into the ground as he walks along. A good pair of bull's horns measure 19 inches for the front and 5 inches for the back one. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. Besides the animals mentioned in this and my previous paper, the game-animals seen by m e in Somaliland include Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Wart-Hogs, and Ostriches. The Spotted Hyaena is very common, and the Striped Hyaena rather rare. There is a wild dog, called " Yey," which I have never seen or shot. Crocodiles swarm in the Webbe-Shabeyli river. I had a horse dragged into the river and killed by one. There are a few schools of Hippopotami, one of which had its usual abode near Sen- Morettu, but I failed to find it, only coming upon the fresh tracks. There are Giraffes in the Aulihan country, three days from Burka, but I gave them up for the chance of going to the Arussi Gallas. While on the Webbe 1 heard that four Buffaloes, all bulls had strayed from tbe Gerire Galla country, through eighty miles of bush, and had taken up their abode in the forest on the Webbe banks at Sen-Morettu, four years before m y visit to that spot. M y informant, a Gilimiss Somali, told m e his father had killed two of them, two years before, with poisoned arrows, and that two remained. I found their fresh tracks, the first I had ever seen, and tried very hard for two days to get a sight of them. W e put them up |
