l68 THE GAME OF BRITISH EAST AFRICA. 



In the neighbourhood of Belgian Wadelai the grass is short. It grows longer 

 and longer as one proceeds down the river, till at Dufile and inland from there it 

 grows well over the height of an elephant. 



In the Congo forests the okapi, the Ituri forest-hog (Hylochcerus ituriensis), the 

 chimpanzee, and many other new and interesting creatures are met with. North 

 of Lake Victoria, past Mbale, and towards Karamoja and Elgon is some shooting- 

 ground corresponding more to the East African type of country than to any other. 

 There elephants are plentiful, and the commoner kinds of buck, the lesser kudu, 

 and the oryx beisa. I have heard it rumoured that the greater kudu also is to 

 be found in the locality.
