SAVAGE SUDAN 



For once it was at Doleib hill on the Sobat I 

 caught sight of a mirafra while still undisturbed in the 

 depths of the grass jungle. From that glimpse some of 

 these sketches evolved. 



Needless to add, we never set eyes on ostrich near 

 Malakal ! Still, having secured two specimens of a 

 creature absolutely new to science none of your "sub- 

 species " ! and six of another new to the Sudan (to say 

 nothing of the forbidden duikers, which are also probably 

 "new"), we were well content with our long day's ramble 

 in the wilderness. 



OUR NEW BUSH-LARK {Mirafra sofiatensis, Lynes).
