When H. went to try and see him he found that, Kke 

 all the rest, he had gone with Rass Baria to the king. 

 H. stopped a day at Adovva, and then went straight 

 on to Massowah. 



His bag on the whole, that is to say, of large game, 

 was as follows: i lion, 12 buffaloes, 20 hartebeest, 

 2 hagazin, 2 wadembie, i leopard, i large deer with 

 straight horns, }y6 gazelles, i very large crocodile, 

 2 pigs, and an enormous turtle ; of course any amount 

 of guinea fowl and partridges. He says, " As for 

 hartebeest and buffalo, at Sherraro and on the Mareb, 

 you can go out and shoot as many as ever you like ; 

 upon my word, they are more like cows than anything 

 else. I saved all the best heads and skins, and shall 

 send them home from Suez. I cannot tell you how 

 glad I am that I went down to the Mareb. Day 

 after day I watched for elephant and rhinoceros, but 

 I never even got a shot at one, and as for rhinoceros 

 I never even saw a track of one." This information 

 as regards the rhinoceros is rather curious, and only 

 shows that they must be much farther west, in fact, 

 in the country which was explored by Sir Samuel 

 Baker.
