THE WILD FAUNA OF THE EMPIEE 73 



Sheikh Pass and, according to native report, in section 4. 

 Very valuable, should be carefully protected. 



' Dik-diks {Madoqua Swaynei and M. Phillipsi), all over sec- 

 tions 2 and 3. The female always dashes first out of a 

 bush; horns of male so small that they are difficult to see. 

 They are the prey of leopards, the smaller carnivora and 

 birds of prey, and should be protected. 



' Clarke's Gazelle {Ammodorcas Clarkei), in section 3, near 

 Gimba. A most remarkable antelope, confined to a district 

 about 50 miles north and south. Should be protected if 

 possible. 



' Swayne's Hartebeeste (Bubalis Swayfiei), in section 3, con- 

 fined'to districts in the Haud, near Toyo. Requires pro- 

 tection. 



* There are ten other species excluding carnivora, and these 

 are found in other parts of Africa as well as in Somaliland. 



' Elephant, in section 5, in the Gadabursi country. I believe 

 they should be absolutely protected. 



' Greater Koodoo, in section 2, in the Golis Mountains, also 

 a few in the extreme south of section 3, and, I believe, in 

 section 5, in the Gadabursi country, but their principal 

 habitat is the Golis Mountains. Require protection. 



' Lesser Koodoo, in section 2, in the foothills of the Golis 

 Mountains and just north of Hargeisa. Should be pro- 

 tected. 



' Klipspringer, in section 2, in the Golis Mountains. Should 

 be protected. 



* Waller's Gazelle, scattered over section 3. A very remark- 



able antelope, should be protected. 



* Ostrich, scattered over section 3. Should be protected on 



account of its value. 

 ' The four remaining species are found scattered over sec- 

 tion 3, and a few on the borders of section 2. These species are 

 Soemmering 's and Speke's Gazelles, Oryx, Wart-hog. They 

 would be all the better for some protection, but do not require it 

 so urgently as the rest.
