140 NOTES TAKEN. 
We disturbed a herd of antelopes near the water-pool, 
and several hungry wolves were,prowling around in their 
tracks. 
The Captain caught a most curious spider, with the body ~ 
as large as a pigeon’s egg, barred with alternate brown 2 
and canary coloured stripes, head brown and armed with a 
horn, and legs long and black, a new — and quite an 
addition to our collection. 
This region abounds in iron and copper, and indications are 
very strong of coal.
