Lake Victoria to Khartoum 



born brutes ; it was probably a sort of mutual 

 protection society, 



My best head was only twenty-five inches, 

 which compares very unfavourably with the enor- 

 mous heads that have been shot in the Sudan ; 

 but very likely that was because it was not late 

 enough in the season for the big fellows to be 

 down near the Nile. I was the first in the field 

 in 1908, and lots of game I saw didn't mind the 

 steamer in the least. Later on, when they have 

 been shot at a little, they get dreadfully shy. 



The roan antelope is found from Abyssinia to 

 Jebel Achmed Aga, and thence south towards 

 Uganda. 



I am doubtful whether the roan at Gondokoro 

 is the H.E. bakeri or ruppallidus. This may be 

 the locality where the two races run into one 

 another.
