AT this period, about the middle of 1895, I 

 was already engaged in looking in the district for 

 clogs intelligent and brave enough to assist me. 

 With this object I offered large prices for sporting 

 dogs, so as to induce natives to bring me animals 

 which showed the required qualities. The natives of 

 Makanga, Magandja, and other countries in this 

 region have always used dogs for hunting the agouti, 

 and some even for the wart-hog.
