7G THE SOCIETY FOE THE PRESERVATION OF 



BEGHUAN ALAND. 



In Beohuanaland the game regulations are embodied in a Pro- 

 clamation No. 22 of 1904, dated September 21, 1904. Prom 

 October 1 to the end of February no large game may bo hunted. 



Hippopotamus, rhinoceros, buffalo, zebra, quagga, and all 

 animals of the antelope species except the rhebuck, klipspringer, 

 duiker, and steinbuck, are defined as large game. These may be 

 hunted in the open season upon payment of £20 for the full season, 

 or of less amounts for shorter periods. Elephant, giraffe^ and 

 eland may not be hunted without a permit issued by the Resident 

 Commissioner with the authority of the High Commissioner. 

 Fines not exceeding £150 are incurred upon breach of these 

 regulations. 



The Eesident Commissioner has power to issue permits without 

 charge to any official of the Beohuanaland Protectorate service, 

 and to any member of the Beohuanaland Protectorate Police, 

 authorising them to hunt large game subject to such limitation as 

 he may prescribe. 



The Eesident Commissioner also has power to issue permits, 

 without charge, to persons travelling on journeys on ordinary roads, 

 to kill large game in reasonable amount for food within a distance 

 of one mile from such road, except in the close season. 



This Proclamation, however, does not apply to any member of 

 a native tribe who shall, with the permission of the paramount chief 

 of such tribe, kill large game, elephants, giraffes, or eland, within 

 the territory lawfully hunted by such tribe.
