Fringe-Eared Oryx 



Another point is that the beisa does not neces- 

 sarily drink water, like his ally the gemsbok of 

 the Kalahari Desert in the south, but the callotis 

 does, and rather likes it. They used to water 

 regularly every day in a hurried way, and get 

 straight back again to their grazing ground at 

 once. 



They are found from as far south as the Taru 

 Desert to Kilimanjaro, and thence north to lakes 

 Natron and Magardie, and I saw a single one in 

 the Reserve under the Ngong Hills on the edge 

 of the Rift Valley near Nairobi. 



I should say they are not found north of 

 Mount Suswa, an extinct volcano in the Rift 

 Valley. 



Twenty-nine inches would be a fair head.
