THE SELOUS COLLECTION. 10 



Dr. Peters first met with it, this hartebeest is found throughout 

 the greater part of the low-lying coast-country between the 

 Zambesi and the Sabi, and although its range has not been 

 accurately determined in this direction, it probably extends into 

 certain districts of the country to the south of the lower course of 

 the latter river. This species is fairly common on both sides of 

 the central and upper course of the Sabi River, as far north as a 

 point some 50 miles south of Mount Wedza, and from there east- 

 wards may be met with to within a few miles of Massikessi. 

 Westwards from the central Sabi a few stragglers range as far as 

 and even beyond the Lunti River, while in 1885 a small herd of 

 six suddenly appeared in northern Mashonaland, near the Hanyani 

 River, some 20 miles to the north-west of where Salisbury now 



stands Throughout the greater part of the country in which 



I have travelled to the north of the Zambesi, I have met with 

 Lichtenstein's Hartebeest ; and it is one of the commonest 

 antelopes on the Table-lands lying between the Zambesi and the 

 Kafukwi, as well as all over the country to the north of the latter 

 river, which is where I first met with it in 1877-78 . . . ."
