APPENDIX V 



THE MAP 



THE map is referred to in my chapter on the physical features of 

 the country, and is appended to enable the reader to see at a glance 

 where the hunting parts of the country are situated. 



The sanctuaries are accurately defined, but in the case of the green 

 coloured " park, plain, and forest " country the coloration only 

 shows the general position, for, without a detailed survey, the boun- 

 daries of such country cannot be defined. Again, it must not be 

 supposed that such country^, is one vast open plain. There are 

 plains, some of great extent, others quite small ; there are also parks 

 full of scattered trees or clumps of jungle, and all are divided from 

 each other by greater or smaller masses of forest. In some places, 

 particularly in the Southern and Eastern Provinces and the western 

 portion of the North Central Province, and the coast line, the open 

 country is sandy plain and more or less thorny scrub. The map is 

 merely meant to show the general position of the districts, and lays 

 down no accurate boundaries except in the case of the sanctuaries. 



Also, it must not be supposed that game is only to be found in 

 the particular parts of the country defined in the map. Outside of 

 the planting districts in all parts of the low country, excepting the 

 very populous parts of the Western Province, game of all kinds 

 exists in greater or lesser numbers, such as pig, deer, leopards, bears, 

 elephants, and buffaloes ; but, apart from the districts defined on the 

 map, such country is mainly scrub and jungle, affording little in 

 the shape of open stalking country, and systematic shooting can be 

 indulged in with difficulty, though in the season bird life abounds.
