abundant in many districts. Protected to a certain degree by law, 

 they are to be met with in parts of Cape Colony and the Orange 

 River Colony ; while on the plains bordering the Botletli and the 

 neighbouring salt-pans, as well as in Great Namaqualand, Damara- 

 land, and the Ovampo Flats, they occur in large numbers. Spring- 

 buck-stalking on the open veldt affords excellent rifle-practice ; 

 zest being added to the sport from the fact that the venison is most 

 excellent for the table.
