66 MAMMALIA. 
The Pallah is common in the wooded country north of the 
Kurrichane, where it occurs in herds equally as large as those of 
the Spring Bok are more to the southward. It feeds on grass or 
the more delicate twigs of the brushwood. When startled, they 
generally move off in perfect files, and will not diverge far from 
the course they first adopt, even to avoid a man, which renders 
them an easy prey to the hunter who carries fire-arms. Where 
not disturbed by hunters, they are less shy than the Spring Bok. 
The flesh is esteemed.—A. Smith.
