Beyond the Zambesi, in more tropical and un- 

 healthy Africa, I do not think that the foxhound can 

 ever be made to flourish. But upon the high and 

 healthy plains of much of Southern Africa it has 

 been conclusively proved that the hound can be made, 

 with care, to thrive, to successfully propagate its 

 species, and to afford very excellent hunting. And 

 for this satisfactory result Sir Frederick Carrington 

 has mainly to be thanked.
