eqvhntfi. 



Presext Disteibutiox. 



A few preserved in Natal. Still founl in 

 Zulu Land, but not west of long. 30° 

 until one comes to lat. 24°, or at least 

 but rarely. On the west coast in 

 Damara Land rarely seen so far south 

 as 20°, according to Audersson, 1S.57. 



Inhabits the coast-line from the Inyalazi 

 river in Zulu Land, as far north at 

 least as Delagoa Bay. 



In parts of Natal ; a few seen in long. 27°, 

 lat. 25°; still a few found in the Zulu 

 country. Its spoor seen in long. 27°, 

 lat. 23°, but apparently getting very 

 rare. 



In the Amaswazi Land, in lat. 27° ; com- 

 mon nn the Limpopo ; beginning in 

 lat. 25°, goes as far west as long. 25°. 



Western boundary 28° long., eastern the 

 Drakensberg range ; an occasional one 

 in winter found in the north of Natal. 

 Probable boundary of its northern 

 range lat. 35° 30'. Principal habitat 

 the open country in the Orange Free 

 State and the south of the Transvaal. 



In the Cape colony, in Breida's Farm at 

 Cape L'Agulhaz, apparently the only 

 place in which it is now found. 



Not known apparently west of the Dra- 

 kensberg range of hills; occurs yet 

 through most parts of the Transvaal 

 and Orange Free 8tate in the open 

 country; found again in lat. 22°, from 

 about long. 26°, into Damara Land. 



Still found in the Zulu country. Does 

 not begin to extend its range west un- 

 til about lat. 25°. 



Still found in the Amaswazi Land in lat. 

 27°; its probable range, besides, is most 

 likely the same as that of the Sable 

 Antelope. 



Past Distribution. 

 Common through S. Africa. 



Probably the jame aa at present. 



Common everywhere. 



First found about Latakoo in lat. 

 long. 25°, by Dr. Burchell. 



87° 



Found sparingly in the colony. In other 

 respects its boundaries were the sama 

 as at present. 



According to Ilan'is, its limit north ap- 

 pears to have been 25° lat. ; but its 

 principal habitat was, according to the 

 same niithor, the extensive grassy 

 plains south of the Vaal river. 



In much the same situations as now, but 

 came much further north. 



Apparently never crossed the Vaal river 

 into the colony, but common in all 

 suitable localities to the north of it. 



According to Dr. Smith, once found in 

 the old colony ; but how far north is 

 not known for certain. Gordon Gum- 

 ming met with it just to the north of 

 the Vaal river. 



22. B. niger . 



23. Oryc capensia . 



Still said to linger on the Magalicsber^, 

 where they were first found by Harris 

 in 1836 or 1837. It probably "does not 

 extend farther westward than long. 

 23°, lat. 21.°, or further south than lat, 

 26°, and there only sparingly. 



A few still preserved at Cape L'Agiilhaz, 

 in Cape colony, on Breda's Farm. At 

 present its farthest range east seems 

 to be long. 27° nearly, yet found as far 

 north as Tat. 24°. 



The same as at present. 



Found commonly in the Cape colony, 

 liut in-obably never further east than 

 its present limit, being more of a 

 western animal ; or probably that part 

 of the country was more suited to its 

 habits. 



24. Subahis caffer 



25. Cametopardalit 

 girqfa. 



About lat. 28° in Zulu Land; a few still 

 preserved in Natal, in those places 

 not extending beyond 30° E. long. 

 Begin to extend their range west about 

 the Tropic of Capricorn. 



On the east coast about lat. 25°, which is 

 the probable latitude through S. Africa 



Conmion through all S. Africa. 



About lat. 2.^', to the west of long. 24'-. 

 The Giraffe probably never crossed the 

 Orange Eivcr to the south.
