I have to acknowledge having made free use of Rowland 

 Ward's ''Records of Big Game," 1914 Edition, for the 

 record measurements ; but a number of new records 

 have been established since the issue of this work. To 

 these I have added the name of the owner, or the 

 authority for the measurements given. 



I am also indebted to Mr. W. L. Sclater's " Mammals 

 of South Africa " for much information.
