250 AFRICAN GAME ANIMALS 



White Nile, purchased at El Dueim, has been examined in 

 the National Museum and another from Lake Chad in the 

 British Museum. It is a rare animal in the Nile district 

 and is seldom secured by sportsmen. Schweinfurth fails 

 to mention it in his list of mammals met with during his 

 exploration of the Bahr el Ghazal, and Von Heuglin refers 

 to it very briefly without mentioning any localities. Heller 

 saw a pair near Gondokoro, but no other member of the 

 Roosevelt expedition met with this race.
