The Hyaena-Dog 



J. G. Millais ' speaks of the " good old days " in 

 South Africa, \vhen a well-mounted man of average weight 

 could bring down a swift roan antelope {Hippotragus 

 eqninus] after a chase of four miles, a waterbuck after 



A GOOD EXAMPLE OF PROTECTIVE RESEMBLANCE. 

 A WOUNDED BULL ELAND LYING UNDER THE 

 SHADE OF A THORN-TREE 



a chase of three miles, and an old kudu bull after a 

 chase of two. These animals can have very little chance 

 of escape, therefore, when chased by hyaena-dogs.
