Mr. Vi. R. Ogilvie Grant on Birds 



bad places, and after 1500 miles of very rough ground, the 

 last day or two to the rail-head seemed as nothing. Our 

 camels were in splendid trim, in fact we travelled from Lake 

 Baringo to the rail-head, a distance of some 110 miles, in 

 four days, doing 37 miles one day. Breaking up our 

 caravan, we took the railway to Mombasa, where we arrived 

 on May 19th. Our total bag came to 381 head, made up of 

 the following : — 



Blue and Colobus Monkeys, Lion, Striped and Spotted 

 H vsenas, Jackal, Silver-backed Jackal, Fox, Caracal, Elephant, 

 Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, Burchell's and Grevy's Zebras, 

 Giraffe, Greater and Lesser Kudus, Oryx, Swayne's Harte- 

 beeste, Eland, Waterbuck, Topi, Waller's, Grant's, Soem- 

 merring's, Pelzeln's, Baira, and Thomson's Gazelles, Bohor, 

 Abyssinian Duiker, Oribi, Steinbuck, Pallah, Bushbuck, 

 Klipspringer, Dik-Dik, Galla Ox, Wait Hare, Porcupine, 

 Ant-bear, Ostrich, Crocodile, Iguana, various large Snakes. 

 A new Bat [Kerivoida harrisoni, cf. Thomas, P. Z. S. 1901) 

 was procured at Walamo at an elevation of 6700 feet. 

 My collection of birds includes examples of 150 species, 

 represented by nearly 300 skins. — J. J. H.]
