A closer examination into the distribution of the cattle leads to a still further 

 restriction of the area in which they occur. In Shari district, for instance, they 

 are confined to Babanloma, and the neighbouring town of Ajikaji ; and in 

 Lanwa district there are no cattle north of Bode Sadu, although thev are 

 plentifully scattered throughout the southern portion of the district. Similarly, 

 in the Patigi division the presence of Fulani cattle is limited to the extreme 

 westerly portion of Oke Odde district, to an area bounded on the west by the 

 River Oyi, and on the east by a line drawn from Famali to Oke Odde, and thence 

 to Ora. There are no cattle south of Ora. In Afon, too, the majority of the 

 cattle are found north of Ojuko, and the three or four Fulani encampments 

 in Oke Awra district are all on the Ajassepo boundary. A glance at the 

 accompanying map, on which the districts where Fulani cattle occur are shaded, 

 will show that the cattle are restricted to the western half of the province, no 

 jangali being collected in the eastern or Patigi division, and none in the districts 

 along the southern and south-eastern borders. The province of Ilorin may 

 therefore be considered to be divided roughly into two portions by the fifth 

 degree of longitude. Experience has taught the herdsmen that to the west of 

 this line they may safely lead their cattle to graze, but that to the east only 

 disease and death await them. 



On comparing the map which represents the distribution of Fulani cattle with 

 the other map showing the distribution of tsetse-flies, it will be observed that the 

 districts in which cattle are absent are, with the exception of those in the south- 

 western corner, almost co-extensive with the districts in which G. submorsitans 

 has been found. The correspondence is so close that it suggests that the presence
