RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



H. e. gambianus. Gordon Gumming shot the roan antelope just 

 north of the Orange River in Griqualand West, where it has for 

 many years been exterminated. Nowhere abundant, the species is 

 most plentiful in Mashonaland and neighbouring districts ; in the 

 Transvaal it is only sparsely distributed. South of the Orange 

 River this group of antelopes was formerly represented by the 

 much smaller blaauwbok, or blue antelope (H. leucopliceus], long 

 since exterminated.
