Mr. Livingston observes, " It is a well-ascertained fact, that 

 the Eland, Gemsbock, Duiker, Steinbock, &c., can live for months 

 together without water. The Eland becomes enormously fat 

 during the driest season, viz. the winter, when all the herbage is 

 withered and so dry that it crumbles to powder in the hand ; and 

 yet the stomach of all these animals, when opened, contained a 

 good deal of moisture. Our party was well supplied with Eland 

 flesh during our passage through the desert ; and it being supe- 

 rior to beef, and the animal as large as an ox, it seems strange 

 it has not yet been introduced into England." Journ. Geog. Soc. 

 xx. 139, 1850. 



They have bred at Knowsley, but are ravenous feeders, and 

 liable to an epidemic.
