 bucks, kobs, monkeys, baboons, hippos, crocodiles, wart-hogs, bufifaloes, 

 gazelles, girafifes, zebras, reed-bucks, serval cats, and birds of many 

 varieties, including the rare shoe-bill stork. 



We were not permitted to go through the Bahr-el-Ghazal because 

 of local trouble with the natives known as Neurs. This fact unfortu- 

 nately excluded us from one of the best hunting grounds in the 

 Sudan.
