There were maggots in her stomach, a large tapeworm {Ano-

 nematodes {Setaria equina (Abildg.), O ). The Mtali male had

\ fact worth recording was the appearance of four Elephants 

 some 200 yards from the Boma at Singida at daybreak on 6. x. 22. 

 I'he country is for the most part open rolling downs with 

 occasional rocky kopjes here and there. It was surmised that 

 the animals wandered from the western side of the lake west of 

 the Boma, where Elephant are known to exist in the dense but 

 low thorn-bush scrub. They drank at the lake east of the Boma 

 and lost their way. They wei-e fired on by the native jjolice at 

 the Boma, and the male was wounded, he was followed up and 

 killed in a native garden some live miles north. He measured 

 ten feet at the shoulder, and his tusks weighed about 40 lbs. 

 apiece. One ear had a curious long tail about 8: inches in length, 

 doubtless caused by some injury. The other ear, which I pre- 

 served and which is now in the Game Dept. Office, liad two holes 

 in it as if made by bullets at some time or other. Presumably 

 I am correct in rei:'erring it to this race.
