n6 BIG GAME SHOOTING 



The Korrigum^ or Senegal hartebeest (D. corrigum), 

 is an antelope much more nearly resembling the true 

 Bastard hartebeest, or Tsesseby, which I shall refer to 

 at greater length. The body colouring is rufous. 

 The corrugated horns are not so open as with the 

 Tsesseby, and are only slightly lyrate in form. They 

 measure as much as 22^ inches over the curve. 

 The habitat of this animal lies in Senegambia and 

 the interior of West Africa. Very little is known 

 of it from the sportsman's point of view. 



The Tiang (D. corrigum tiang] may be described 

 as a local race of the Korrigum, found in Sennaar, 

 Kordofan, and the Bahr-el-Ghazal province of the 

 Soudan. 



The Topi (D. c. jimela) is the East-African 

 representative of the Korrigum of West Africa. 

 It is manifestly not very distantly related to the 

 Tsesseby of South Africa. It stands about 44 

 inches in height and has a brownish coat having 

 that rich, purplish sheen so characteristic of that 

 antelope. It is found in British East Africa, 

 is well known in Uganda, and is perhaps the 

 commonest antelope in the maritime portion of the 

 Galla country. It is not yet well known to Europeans 

 as a beast of chase ; Mr. Neumann found it not very 

 difficult to approach, and appears to have been always 

 able to shoot one or two, when meat or specimens 

 were required. Near Reshiat, in the neighbourhood 

 of Lake Rudolf, he found these animals grazing in 

 thousands. 



The Tsesseby (Damaliscus lunatus] is, as I have
