52 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OP 



was £'867. The two Reserves were very carefully watched. The 

 Elephant Marsh Reserve is extremely well situated, as there is a 

 Government Station at Chiromo south of it, and an excellent and 

 reliable Native Chief at the north end of it, who is allowed to 

 shoot one or two beasts every year, and he acts as Game Ranger. 

 He is informed immediately if any person fires a gun in or near 

 the Reserve. The Angoniland Reserve, in addition to having two 

 Government Stations in its vicinity, has two native Game Rangers 

 — Headmen who are paid an annual sum each, and are keen about 

 arresting any poachers. The only poachers in it are occasional 

 native marauders from Portuguese territory.'
