AFRICAN BUFFALO 419 
years ago existed in countless numbers. Here they are much 
protected by the unhealthy nature of the country, which is deadly 
to Europeans, except between the end of May and November. 
| Except a few protected herds in the Addo bush, the Knysna and 
Zitzikamma forests, and thickets of the Fish and Sunday rivers, 
the species has long since been exterminated in the Cape. The 
Ankoli buffalo has been described as B. c. radcli a and is 
characterised by the flattened and less rugged horns; while the 
name #. c. neumanni has been given to the buffalo of northern 
Uganda. The Kivu B. c. mathewsz of the Albert Edward Nyanza 
district is a smaller horned animal, with a white tail-tip, related to 
the Sudan race.
