1903. | PROF. NEWLON ON THE WHITE RHINOCEROS. 223 
have not yet been able to procure, although I visited the reserve 
in which they lived for this special purpose last winter. Their 
traces were abundant, but my time was limited, and they could 
not be found. There are, I believe, about ten of these animals 
living in that reserve, ond I do “Age despair of yet obtaiming 
a photogy: iph of them in life, in which case | shall be pleased 
to send you a copy of it. 
Karly last December two of the animals (both bulls), one a very 
old one and the other not full-grown, strayed out of the reserve 
into one of the native locations and were killed. J obtained 
three photographs of one of them, the old bull, taken by an 
amateur two or three days after it had died. Lam forwarding by 
the same mail as this a copy of each of these photographs, which 
you ave welcome to, and which, I think, demonstrate the fact that 
they were taken from a specimen of the White Rhinoceros, although 
the carcass was a good deal distended, 
The killing of these two Rhinoceroses was most unfortunate. 
They suddenly appeared among some native kraals, and the men 
went out and attacked them with spears. The young one was 
see outright ; that of which the photograph was taken travelled 
a long fierce after being wounded, and was not found until 
some days had elapsed. Yours faithfully,
